Banoffee pie smoothie

This café-style smoothie is a fresh twist on the classic banana milkshake. Impress your guests with one of these delicious drinks, or ditch the toppings for a perfect, speedy post-workout smoothie.

A rich source of nutrients, each glass provides roughly 135mg of magnesium, equating to over 40% of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) for adult females and a third of the RDI for adult males. Our bodies require magnesium to support muscle growth, contraction and nerve function. Magnesium is a particularly important mineral for active adults and children of all ages.
