Better Than A Thousand Donuts Smoothie

"A Green Smoothie is Worth a Thousand Donuts"

A smoothie might be in the blended beverage category, but a smoothie certainly represent very different aspects.

I love the creamy and delicious taste of a smoothie combined with the health benefits that are offered by a smoothie.

All you need is one very secret ingredient that provides the body and brain with a very powerful health benefit and you can turn a simple milkshake into a nutritious drink.

In the case of the Vanilla Smoothie Delight the secret ingredient are frozen bananas.

Did you know that when bananas are frozen and then blended down, they take on the texture of real ice cream?

Yes, real ice cream but without all the dangerous and sick making additives and fats.

In this case I suggest to buy a whole whack of fresh organic bananas. Let them sit out until they have ripened nicely and are yellow.

They should also show some brown spots, but not have gone quite so far as to be in banana bread making material.

Peel your bananas and slice them so that each slice is about 1.5 to 2 centimetres thick.

Separate all the banana slices and lay them flat in a Ziploc bag and place them like this in your freezer.

Avoid throwing them all in at once. They may be hard to break apart in the quantities that you need them later when they are in a frozen condition. Once you have gone through this freezing process, you will have bananas on hand for your smoothie delights for a good amount of time.

This will be a huge time saver because you can live healthy without having to go to the store and buy fresh bananas all the time.

The Vanilla Smoothie Delight is a great smoothie for beginners and you can play around with it and add some of your own variations.

Make sure to write down your own ingredients that you like to add and your preparation method so that you will remember it later.

I suggest using a site like Evernote or a mobile app where you can quickly take all your notes for later reference.

The Vanilla Smoothie Delight is a great recipe that can act as a base for you to build from and it contains the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

5 or 6 small frozen banana slices (organic if possible)

1 cup of frozen fruits ( be creative with your selection like peaches, apricots, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, rasperries, papaya, mango. Make sure the fruits are frozen because this will add to the creamy texture of the smoothie)

¼ cup of organic vanilla yoghurt

½ cup of milk (skim if you are on a strict smoothie diet)

raw honey or splenda (optional and to your liking)

Directions:

Add all the ingredients into your Vitamix or similar high-speed blender. Make sure to add fresh spring water or ice cubes if needed. Add as much water as you like in order to reach your desired thickness of the smoothie. For all the smoothie recipes, make sure to use organic products, fruits and vegetables if possible.

Mix all the ingredients together and process them with your favorite blender until all of the ingredients are well combined together. Blend the frozen slices of bananas and fruits in your favorite blender or food processor on high speed.

You may need to stop occasionally with the process and return some of the fruits to the base of the blender as the fruits can quickly creep up the sides of your mixing bowl.

Keep blending until all the fruits are broken down into a nice smoothie texture.

Next, add in the vanilla yoghurt, the milk and the raw honey or splenda and continue to mix the drink until thoroughly swirled together.

Transfer your drink to a large glass or two smaller ones and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Vanilla Smoothie Delight.

If you need you can also add some more ice cubes or a little filtered spring water depending on your desired consistency.
