Banana Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 2 Bananas (better if they are a little ripe).
  • 2 cups of milk.
  • 1 handful of oatmeal.
  • 1-2 teaspoons of honey , to taste.
  • Ā½ cup of 100% peanut butter (optional).
  • 2 ice cubes.

How to make Banana Smoothie:

  • Step 1: Peel the two bananas and chop them.
  • Step 2: Put all the ingredients in a mixer or  blender.
  • Step 3: Shake them and add the ice cubes.
  • Step 4: Beat again until you get a homogeneous and smooth texture.
  • Step 5: Pour the result into cups or glasses.
  • Step 6: Enjoy your fabulous Banana Smoothie !

tricks:

  • Trick 1: Chop and freeze the Bananas beforehand, so you won’t need to add ice.
  • Trick 2: Add a dessert spoon of vanilla extract to give it a special touch. If you don’t have it at home, you can also add vanilla ice cream, replacing the ice, as it will give you the same effect. (We recommend you prepare it at home with a  stand mixer , if you don’t have one, don’t miss our analysis of the best stand mixers )

Peanut Properties and Benefits:

The peanut is a food of first order, far superior to any kind of meat and many other fruits and vegetables, it contains 30.5% protein, 47.5% fat, 17% carbohydrates and considerable proportions of calcium , phosphorus, potassium and iron.

It is very rich in vitamins B1 , B2, nicotinic acid and pro-vitamins that are transformed in the body into vitamin A. Peanuts, being a legume, are a very valuable food due to their abundant content of protein , fat, thiamin and niacin.

For women who are in the postmenopausal stage, a handful of  peanuts and a couple of apples are recommended since foods rich in boron contribute to increasing estrogen in the body. Also, people who cannot tolerate cow’s milk can substitute it for peanut or almond milk.
