Healthy ice cream for breakfast? You heard us right!

Set your children up for success this exam season with Shivi Ramoutar’s exam-fuelling breakfast recipe! Breakfast is an exam essential. By making use of frozen chopped banana which later gets blended with milk and yoghurt, you’re left with a healthier alternative to ice cream. The addition of peanut butter adds to the protein and should help make it more of a proper breakfast.

You could of course add your own modifications to this – sprinkling on some chopped up hazelnuts for example, or a few fresh blueberries, or even some granola!

At Magic Breakfast, we are working to ensure that no child or young person is too hungry to learn. Join our Fuel For Success campaign to ensure even more children and young people have the fuel they need to thrive!
