Bananas are a great fruit to add to your home-made smoothie drinks.  Bananas are packed with nutrients, including fibre, vitamins, minerals, and most importantly carbohydrates which are needed if you wish to boost your energy levels.

Bananas are considered to be low GI foods - the low glycemic carbohydrates in bananas make them a popular choice for endurance athletes for example, helping them to keep up their energy levels over long periods of exercise.

Bananas provide the following nutrients:

·         Vitamin B6
·         Manganese
·         Vitamin C
·         Potassium
·         Fibre
·         Copper
·         Biotin

Smoothies are easy to make – just chop up or slice your ingredients, throw into a blender and add juice, milk or yogurt for a delicious nutritional drink (or even as a meal replacement)!

Whenever possible, choose fresh fruit at its ripest to get the best flavors and nutrients from it.  When combing fruit with juices to make a smoothie, try to use juices free from artificial sweeteners or additives whenever possible for the healthiest drink.

Bananas added to fruit smoothies can help to take the sharpness away from some fruits, giving the drink a more mellow flavor.

Feel free to add a touch of lime, lemon, mint etc to any smoothie for an added taste-bud sensation!

The following recipes are divided into 2 categories:  bananas/fruits blended with juice only or bananas/fruits blended with milk/yogurt/juice.  Smoothies blended with juice only will have a runnier consistency than smoothies blended with milk/yogurt.  Feel free to add more or less juice or yogurt to change the consistency if you prefer.

Each recipe suggestion serves 1 person (simply double the ingredients for 2 servings etc):
