Ingredients
- Banunu (banana)
- Milk/milk substitute/water
- Ice cream/frozen dessert
- Sugar/sugar substitute/honey
- Pinch of salt
- Blender of some kind
- A fancy glass
- A silly little umbrella because food deserves to be fun
Instructions
- Peel bananas like you're Dexter Morgan and the banana is a murderer
- Put them in the blender with ice cream or frozen dessert or even skip it if you want. This can be any flavour that you think will go with bananas – chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch, etc.
- Add the sugar
- Blend
- Check the consistency and add your liquid slowly and give it a whirl between every couple of millilitres of the liquid to check the consistency.
- Once you're satisfied with the thickness of the smoothie, add your sweetener and a pinch of salt. Taste. Balance your ingredients till you find the perfect balance of flavours you want.
Alternatives
- You can switch out bananas for any other fruit if you like. Bananas are very filling, cheap and usually aren't a restricted food group for many so it's my go to. You can pick whatever you want.
- You can add other things to the smoothie if you like, like nuts, dried fruits, whipped cream, sprinkles, etc. Get creative, let your body have what it craves.
- You can skip the ice cream completely and substitute with frozen fruits for a similar creamy texture.
- You can use frozen bananas instead of bananas at room temperature to avoid the slimy texture of the banana.
