  3. Top with cucumbers, feta and cherry tomatoes. Serve.

Blend 1 banana with 1/4th cup almond milk, 1/4th cup water, a pinch of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons curd/yogurt, you can also add a tablespoon of oats and/or mixed seeds. Serve cold.

4. Nutty Apple Slices

Slice apples, top with a pinch of pink salt and cinnamon, spread some peanut butter on the slices and enjoy. Do not exceed 1 tablespoon of peanut butter butter per serving, because it becomes very easy to overconsume and the calories really start adding up.
