Description
Indulge in this Gut Healthy Bananas Foster Smoothie that not only tastes like a decadent dessert but also supports your digestive health with gut-friendly ingredients.
Ingredients
Smoothie Base:
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Additional Optional Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tbsp molasses
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, flaxseed, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using).
- Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little extra almond milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add ice and blend again.
- Once blended, taste and adjust sweetness, cinnamon, or other ingredients as desired.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few banana slices.
Notes
- Flaxseed is great for gut health as it’s high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, make sure to choose a plant-based yogurt.
- For an extra gut boost, consider adding a spoonful of probiotic-rich kefir instead of yogurt.
