BANANA SHAKE / SMOOTHIE

Banana Shake / Smoothie image

This is a smooth healthy shake/smoothie that everyone could enjoy. Little Miss (DD) loves her to drink banana shakes/smoothies so I had to slightly modify this recipe for her to be able to enjoy it. I used a very ripe banana and didn't have a fresh orange at home so I used orange juice. I used a hand held blender to pulp the ingredients together. Original recipe comes from 'The Little Book of Alcohol-Free Cocktails' by Hamlyn

Tips:

Use frozen bananas: Freezing bananas enhances their sweetness and creaminess, resulting in a thick, milkshake-like consistency.
Adjust sweetness: If desired, add honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners to taste. For a healthier option, use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
Add milk alternatives: For a dairy-free or vegan shake, use almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or coconut milk instead of cow's milk.
Incorporate yogurt: Yogurt adds protein, calcium, and a tangy flavor to the shake. Greek yogurt is a particularly good choice due to its thickness and high protein content.
Enhance with protein powder: To boost protein intake, add a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, or another flavored protein powder.
Add mix-ins: For a more complex flavor and texture, consider adding ingredients like peanut butter, cocoa powder, chia seeds, or fresh berries to the shake.

Conclusion:

With its creamy texture, delightful banana flavor, and customizable options, a banana shake smoothie is a versatile and satisfying treat. Whether you prefer a classic recipe or a more elaborate version with additional ingredients, this delicious and nutritious drink is sure to please.
