Best and easiest method to prepare basic banana smoothie

By -

 


Best and easiest method to prepare basic smoothie recipe calls for four simple ingredients:

Note we are preparing for just a single cup. You can double this process to archive more quantity.

1. A single Banana

2. Half an orange preferably ripe

3. Greek or plain yogurt

4. Water or milk.


Procedure for preparation

As I mentioned above, this smoothie recipe is delicious as written, but it can also be used as a base for other smoothie recipes. We shared a few suggestions in the video, but I’ll add even more below:



Add more fruit (fresh or frozen). I love mango, pineapple, and berries.

Add greens like spinach, kale, or Swiss chard. I add one to two cups.

Add healthy fat with some avocado.

Add more protein and fiber with hemp seeds, chia seeds, or your favorite protein powder.

Add nuttiness and extra sticking power with a tablespoon of peanut butter, almond butter, or other nut butter.

Add some chocolate with a tablespoon of cocoa powder or my favorite, cacao nibs.

Add fresh ginger or turmeric or add dried spices like ground cinnamon or ground turmeric.


Note:


To make smoothies even easier, freeze fresh fruit into portions. You can even prepare smoothie packs and freeze them for a grab and blend smoothie option.
