BANANA SMOOTHIE RECIPE–SUMMMER RECIPES

Its almost summer in Bangalore. We feel like having some juices/ drinks in the afternoons. So to start with Summer drinks recipes, I thought of making this easy & simple banana smoothie recipe with milk. I really din’t know the difference between a milkshake and smoothie until I tried this. After googling, I found smoothie is just a blend of fruits, honey and Milk whereas Milkshake is made by pulsing milk, sugar and ice cream with an essence or fruit. Ice cream is very important for Milk shakes.

As I din’t have ice cream in my hand, I tried smoothie.The consistency of smoothie should be thicker than milkshake. So I followed my Sharjah shake recipe to make it thick. It was very tasty and filling. We just loved it. With the smell of bananas and flavour of cinnamon, it was awesome. Do try this simple, easy to make, healthy banana smoothie. U’ll love it !

Category: Summer Drinks

Serves:3

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 5 Minutes
Total time: 10 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Banana -2 nos (long) Milk – 2 cups (frozen) Honey or sugar –2-3 tbsp Cinnamon powder - 2 pinches Vanilla essence - few drops

HOW TO MAKE BANANA SMOOTHIE - METHOD

Peel the banana and cut into thin slices. Spread in a plate and freeze it for two-three hours. Freeze the milk along with banana. I used unboiled milk. U can use boiled milk too. Now in a mixie jar, take the frozen banana slices. Crush the frozen milk and add to the jar. Add honey and essence as per ur taste. Blend it well without adding water. It will become a thick paste. Add little water if necessary to loosen it. Pour in a glass and serve chilled. Sprinkle some cinnamon powder , mix well and drink.

Note

For variations,use sugar instead of honey. U can also use a tbsp of drinking chocolate powder to get chocolate flavour. If you don’t want to use frozen milk, use ice cubes along with milk while blending. It will be too cold when u drink immediately. So you can make it 30 minutes in advance & keep it too. Chillness would be just right when you drink. Adding cinnamon powder gives a nice flavour to smoothie.so please add.

Enjoy this smoothie along with breakfast. Its very healthy, filling too !
