These banana smoothies are irresistable! Filled with sweet fruit and topped up with coconut milk, it’s light, refreshing and the perfect easy to prepare breakfast for school mornings. Be sure to use coconut milk that is in a carton, not the kind that is creamy and in a can. You can find coconut milk with the other alternative milks (oat, rice etc). Make it a bit thicker and it can also work as a tropical puree for one of baby’s first foods. Chia seeds may be best left for babies over 8 months so they can be removed.

- If you use fresh fruit, add a little ice towards the end of blending to make your smoothie a little creamier.
