I know it is winter and it is soooo cold at the moment but I just really love a good peanut butter and banana combo in the form of a milk shake. A lot cheaper to make at home than it is to buy one out and it’s a bit of fun to make at the weekend or as a dessert in the evening. This recipe really doesn’t require much effort or ingredients and it is so yummy. A good little energy boost I think! And its quite healthy! Honey is a great little addition and it is better than using golden syrup. I do love a bit of honey and especially on my porridge in the morning!
