Consuming a banana and flaxseed smoothie is healthy, satiating and refreshing. Bananas provide high fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, and high mineral content. They also have a low sodium content. As with anything you do with your health, always check with your doctor to find out if it’s best for you and the recommended daily requirements that are specific to you. Bananas also help maintain some health conditions, such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, but remember that too many can affect your health, so it’s important to check with your doctor.
Flax seeds provide a good source of Omega-3 fats. They are also high in fiber and protein. Additionally, flaxseeds help keep stools soft to prevent constipation and support healthier intestines.
Milk (I’m referring to whole milk in this article) provides a source of high-quality protein, calcium, and is high in vitamin D. If you use another milk option, check the nutritional information on the package for each one. it will also provide you with the caloric content. amount too.
A combination of these three things in your shake makes it a healthy and nutritious addition to your diet as a side dish with breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack.
The necessary ingredients are the following;
2 whole ripe bananas (you can add 1 or 2 more to make it thicker)
1/2 cup whole milk (you can use any milk of your choice; 1-2%, skim, soy, almond, etc., it’s up to you) You can also add more milk if you want it to be thinner.
2 tbsp. Ground Roasted Flaxseeds (Do not use whole flaxseeds because they do not break down during the digestion process and you will not get the nutrient benefits) Do not use the raw seeds because they can cause indigestion, therefore it is best to buy them roasted and then grind them in a grinder (a coffee grinder will usually work best).
2 cups of ice cubes
Use a blender for best results.
Instructions;
1. First add the ice to the blender
2. Next, add the peeled bananas, cut them in half and place them in the blender.
3. Add the ground flax seeds
4. Lastly, add the milk of your choice.
Next, add all the ingredients, blend until smooth, then pour into a drinking container of your choice and enjoy.
This is quick and easy to do. No culinary experience is necessary for a banana and flaxseed smoothie. I use a coffee grinder to grind the seeds. If you have leftover seeds, place the extra ground seeds in a covered container and place them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh until next time.
