Our banana smoothie recipe calls for low-fat dairy products and soft fruits from a can (like peaches or pears). They keep you hydrated, are good for you, and have calcium and protein. If you can’t drink milk or eat dairy because you have lactose intolerance, you can make a similar smoothie with protein powder, fruit juice, sherbet, and ice cubes.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yoghurt
- 2 ice cubes
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- if you want, canned soft fruit
Directions
Mix all of the ingredients in a blender until they are smooth.
Different options and ideas
If you want the smoothie to be sweeter, you can add sugar or a sugar substitute to taste.
- If you use Greek yoghurt instead of regular yoghurt, you can add 7 grammes of protein to the dish.
- If you can’t handle lactose, you can use soy yoghurt.
Note: The nutritional analysis can be different for different brands of ingredients.
