Banana - Mango Smoothie
Friday, August 22, 2008I somehow thought Smoothie was some kind of a diet drink & was only for calorie concious people & never bothered to try it out.
After my workout at the gym, I tagged along with a friend of mine to the mall for our regular shopping. We noticed a new juice junction & realised how thirsty we were after the workout. My health conscious friend happened to order a Smoothie, while I ordered my regular Chocolate Milkshake with Ice-Cream ( My workout for the day went in vain !! )
My friend insisted that I take a sip of her smoothie, I tasted awesome .. I realised what I was missing all these days .. And now Iam a BIG Smoothie fan.
My favourite is the Banana-Mango smoothie. Smoothies are slightly thicker in consistency than milkshakes. A smoothie is very refreshing on a hot day & after tiring workouts.
Here's my favourite smoothie recipe,
You will need:
- 1 Banana - cut into chunks
- 1/2 a slice of Mango - any variety - peeled & cubed
- 2 tsp - brown sugar
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup chilled milk
- Ice cubes
Method:
- Blend together Banana chunks, Mango cubes, sugar, yogurt & milk until smooth
- Pour into tall glassed, Top with ice cubes, serve chilled
Enjoi !!!
I went a step ahead & made my smootie extra healthy by adding low-fat yogurt & skimmed milk. I could'nt afford to drink more of chocolate milkshakw with ice cream & ruin my workouts !! Whenever I go out, I always order a smoothie now.
Smoothie is the BEST :)
Off goes my smoothie to Sangeeth's Event, Eat Healthy - Calcium Rich
Thanks Sangeeth for hosting :)
