Smoothies are a great drink that’s not only delicious and refreshing, but also delivers a nutrient-dense punch in every sip.
They’re easy to make, and you can customize them to your liking using fresh fruits and healthy ingredients like chia and flax seeds. Plus, smoothies are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them the perfect post-workout snack or quick breakfast.
In addition to its high nutritional value, smoothies are an ideal hydration drink during hot summer days thanks to their thick texture and added ice.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup berries (or any other fruit: strawberries, mango, pineapple)
- 1 cup cold milk (or plant milk like almond or coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup yogurt (optional for a thicker consistency)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional for added fiber)
- 4-5 ice cubes
Steps:
Prepare the ingredients:
Peel the banana and cut it into small pieces. Wash the fruit you want to use, such as berries or strawberries, and chop larger fruits, such as mango.
In a blender, place the banana, chopped fruit, milk, yogurt, honey (or other sweetener), and chia seeds or flax seeds. Add ice cubes to make the smoothie cold and refreshing.
Turn on the blender and blend the ingredients for 30-60 seconds until smooth and homogeneous.
Serve:
Pour the smoothie into a large glass and serve immediately.
Additional tips:
- You can add spinach or kale if you want to make your smoothie even healthier with an extra dose of vitamins.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, or reduce the amount of milk.
- Add a spoonful of peanut or almond butter if you want to increase the protein and flavor.
Smoothies are perfect as a snack or a quick healthy breakfast!
