Like a small fussy child, there is absolutely NO WAY I would eat this bowlful of fruit if it was put in front of me.
But mushed up into a smoothie I can handle it. Why is this? I have no idea. Maybe because it feels a bit like having a milkshake for breakfast?
I followed the steps Jane lays out in her video below for making a smoothie. I reckon I’ve watched this about 75 times now, so I can safely say I know EXACTLY how Jane feels about breakfast. She loves it.
I don’t know what protein powder does to a smoothie, but it always makes me think of body builders…
Oh crikey. That makes me feel really weird. I am pretty sure this is a real photo even though the face doesn’t seem to fit with the body…
But anyhow, perhaps it is there to keep you full until lunchtime? If so, it worked! I wasn’t hungry for HOURS.
…and I am sure that Greg of Recipes4Rebels will like the look of Jane’s smoothie over her brother Peter’s…
In Jane’s smoothie – for 2 people – apple juice (or water) enough to cover the blades of your blender, a banana, 2 tablespoons protein powder, 2 tablespoons zero fat yoghurt, four frozen peach slices, big handful of blueberries and some agave syrup to taste (in the video it looks as though Jane uses about a tablespoon but hard to say). “It’s not exactly a science” says Jane, quite so! I used lots of fruit left over from Jane’s Very Berry Waffles and some frozen raspberries and mango chunks in mine. But it’s the protein powder that for me makes this a JANE FONDA SMOOTHIE I reckon…
Thanks Jane, I’ve never used protein powder in a smoothie, but now I have lots of it, I will!

Love the “star-spangled ” glass, and YES, you certainly could temp me with this one ( over Peter’s glass of swamp muck)! Good use of protein powder…I’ve got a cupboard full, due to Alex falling for my cousin’s sales pitch a couple of years ago (I really don’t think a few month’s past the expiration date is anything to be bothered about)… SMOOTHIES it is then! I’m gonna use “full-fat” Greek yogurt and dig that blender out from the back of the appliance cupboard…
