Licuados (or batidos) are very popular in Latin American countries especially in Mexico. Licuado is a handmade blended beverage made with milk and fruit. The breakfast option described in this post comes with an egg to add a boost of protein. When I was a kid I loved it and Max loves it too. You can use any combination of fruits but my favourite option is banana and strawberries.

You need

• A blender

Ingredients

• One small banana (or 1/2 large banana);
• 4 medium strawberries;
• One egg;
• 200ml of milk (any milk you like: skimmed, soya, almond etc.);
• 1-2 tsp of sugar (or honey);
• 2 tbsp of Oatbran (optional);

Step by step
