Thirsty enough? Let’s shake it up!

 

Banana Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 banana. One of the most fulfilling fruits out there, bananas are rich in antioxidants and fiber. The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be!

½ orange. This ingredient adds a huge dose of vitamin C and vitamins to your smoothie. It offers a tropical flavor that cools you off, making it perfect for summer.

1/3 cup Greek yogurt. This is an essential ingredient if you want your smoothie to be protein-packed. Additionally, Greek yogurt makes your drink creamier too.

¼ cup water or milk. You can add plain cow’s milk or almond/coconut milk to make the recipe vegan. You may also use water, but milk surely helps you reach that creamy smoothie texture.

1-2 teaspoons honey (optional). Using good-quality honey adds important nutrients to your banana smoothie, as well as a sweeter flavor. It’s especially useful if your banana isn’t ripe enough.

Captain’s Tip: You can substitute the orange with pineapple or mango for the same tropical and nutritional results – or mix them all up!

 

Directions:

Add the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
