Diet drink?
A banana smoothie, made correctly, can become the basis for a healthy diet. At first glance, it may seem that this drink isn't diet-friendly due to its high calorie content, but that's not entirely true. It contains simple carbohydrates, which help quickly satisfy hunger.
Drinking this drink before a workout or in the morning will satisfy your sweet tooth and act as an energy-boosting vitamin drink, while the abundance of vitamin B6 will curb your appetite. So how do you make it? How do you prepare this dessert to maintain a balance between taste and nutrition?
Smoothie with milk
A milk-based banana smoothie is very healthy, as dairy products contain calcium, which is essential for our health. Interestingly, studies have shown a direct correlation between milk consumption and the effectiveness of diets.
Ingredients (for two servings):
- 2 medium-sized bananas, weighing no more than 200 grams;
- Medium-fat milk (about 500 milliliters).
Peeled bananas are diced and poured into room-temperature milk. Ice cubes are added to the mixture for better blending. Blending is easiest in a blender. The final consistency should resemble thick jelly. This recipe makes two servings. The total calorie content is 880 kcal.
Banana Strawberry Delight
Strawberries are considered a low-calorie food (32 kcal/100 grams), and the combination of banana and strawberries is considered a classic. So, I offer you a simple banana smoothie with fresh berries. The recipe is simple:
- 1 medium banana (about 100 grams in weight);
- Strawberry to taste;
- Natural drinking yoghurt without additives with minimal fat content (400 milliliters).
So, to make a delicious and healthy drink, first, you'll need to dice the banana. Then, wash and core the strawberries and cut them into wedges. Pour the yogurt over the mixture and blend until smooth. The total calorie content of this drink is 360 kcal.
Herbal cocktail with oatmeal
A banana smoothie can be made even more filling by adding oatmeal. This recipe is no less simple than the previous ones, but it's incredibly filling. Oatmeal is an essential dietary food, rich in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium banana (about 100 grams);
- 2 tablespoons of oatmeal;
- 4 tablespoons of water;
- Low-fat drinking yoghurt without additives (400 milliliters).
First, grind the oats in a coffee grinder or blender until finely ground. Meanwhile, you can peel and slice the banana. Mix the ingredients together and pour in the yogurt, then blend until smooth. This drink contains 380 calories and will keep you full for a long time. I wish you health and self-improvement! May at least one recipe give you incredible taste sensations and the desired effect.
