Are your bananas over ripened? Don’t bin them; smoothie
them. They are high in fibre and a great energy booster. So you can whip up a
smoothie like this and make an ideal breakfast and it will keep you full till
noon. This is probably the simplest of smoothies that I make. I just breakup over
ripened bananas into chunks by hand and blitz all other ingredients together.
The peanut butter takes the smoothie to another level. It’s
a new flavour, delicious and quite interesting. Flavour of the peanut butter is
not prominent as it is, but it marries well with banana bringing out a new
flavour. Once made, I felt this smoothie has a cookie dough like taste!
Banana smoothie
Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
2 large ripe bananas ~330g
2 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 ½ cups chilled milk or more if you like it thin
2-3 tbsp honey or sugar to taste
2-3 ice cubes (optional)
Preparation:
1. In a blender, place roughly chopped bananas, peanut
butter, ice cubes, chilled milk and sugar/honey and blitz until smooth and
creamy.
2. Serve immediately. You may garnish with chopped
peanuts and honey.
Notes:
1. If you want really cold smoothie, peel bananas, chop
them into chunks and them place them in freezer until really cold. You can also
freeze you over ripened bananas for later use.
2. You can also try omitting the Peanut butter and add 2-3 strawberries for a different taste.
