Do you often crave desserts but can't spare the calories (or the FODMAPs)? Inspired by a deliciously soft, rich slice of spiced banana bread, this healthy smoothie can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner (or hey, why not even dessert!) 

Ingredients: 

• 1 banana, peeled, sliced and frozen 

• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (calcium fortified) 

• 1/4 cup rolled oats 

• 1/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yoghurt* 

• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 

• 1 pinch of cinnamon 

• 1 pinch of nutmeg 

• 1/2 tsp maple syrup (optional - if you like a sweeter smoothie) 

Method: 

1. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately! 

Tips: 

• * Use a lactose free variety of Greek yoghurt if you malabsorb lactose. 

• Simply omit yoghurt to make this smoothie suitable for vegans, or for an even more decadent twist, add 1 tsp of natural peanut butter! 

• To boost the resistant starch (natural prebiotic) content of your smoothie, try using slightly green bananas.
