Smoothies are smooth beverages normally
mixed with fresh fruit, crushed or shaved ice, frozen fruit or other fruit
juices and do not contain ice cream like a milk shake. To make a perfect banana
smoothie start with an ideal yellow banana with brown spots stored at room
temperature which develops a supreme and intense banana flavour. Peel and cut
into bite size pieces for speedy blending and consistent texture. Use freshly made
ice from good tasting tap, filtered or bottle water. As soon as the ice cubes
freezes, empty the trays and store the ice in air tight plastic bags as a
result they won’t absorb any unwanted flavours from the freezer or other
products. Blend ingredients until smooth and pour into cooled glasses. Serve
and enjoy straight away.
Ingredients
make 4
2 perfectly ripe bananas (200g)
3 cups ice (400g)
1 cup milk or yogurt (250g)
Method
Place the banana pieces in the blender,
pour milk in and place the ice on top. Place the lid on top and blend on high
for approx. 30 seconds or until the smoothie thickens. Pour smoothie into a
tall glass with a straw and garnish with a slice of banana.
Note: For sweeter versions, add honey, vanilla or sugar or even better
additional kinds of fruit such as blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and
blackberry.
