👩‍🍳 Let’s Blend It – With Jamie & Max

Jamie: Max, I want something healthy but fast. I’m trying to cut sugar too.

Chef Max: Then we’re making the perfect breakfast shake. It’s clean, quick, and keeps you full till lunch.

Jamie: What do I need?

Chef Max: Step 1 – Grab a banana, oats, almond milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and some chia seeds. Ice too, if you like it cold.

Jamie: That’s it?

Chef Max: Yep. All whole ingredients, no nonsense.

Jamie: What if I don’t have almond milk?

Chef Max: Use oat milk or even water in a pinch. It won’t be as creamy, but it works.

Jamie: I’m not a fan of bananas though...

Chef Max: Try frozen mango or a few strawberries. But banana adds that creamy base and natural sweetness.

Jamie: Step 2 then?

Chef Max: Toss everything in a blender. Blend until smooth. That’s your breakfast. Done in 60 seconds.

Jamie: This is suspiciously easy.

Chef Max: It’s called smart eating. Welcome to the light side.
