Banana smoothie recipe

Ingredients
Banana – 1
Milk – 1 cup
Almonds – 6
Chia seeds – 1 tbsp
Honey – 1 tbsp
Vanilla – 1/4 tsp
Milk – 1 cup
Almonds – 6
Chia seeds – 1 tbsp
Honey – 1 tbsp
Vanilla – 1/4 tsp
Method
- I used frozen banana slices. You can freeze the banana for an hour to make it cold, so that the smoothie is cold. Also use chilled milk. Place everything in a blender and blend smoothly.
Notes
- You can first grind almonds with banana and little milk and then add rest of the milk. When I ground everything together, I got almond bits in between. I liked it very much, but if you want it smooth, you can first grind it smoothly to a paste.
- You can also add a dash of cinnamon powder to this smoothie.
Serve immediately. Delicious as well as healthy and easy breakfast smoothie! I topped with a pinch of my favourite chocolate drink 🙂
