Smoothie recommendation

would just like to point something out... dont use all the banana peel.. its got a bitter aftertaste. best to just use one strip per recipe. my advice is to try different amounts. it seems worthwhile nutritionally to add the peel

Hi there

If you like smoothies, and like citrus and banana.... then its a good idea to use the whole of the fruit, skin and all. heres my favourite

one banana, with the top and tail removed
one orange whole
raisins or sultanas for sweetness

cut ingredients small, add sultanas or raisins and fruit to a blender. add water and blend.the resulting mixture can be quite thick so pour some into a recepticle and dilute. you can store the rest in the fridge for a day or so.

check out online for the benefits of orange skin and pith and banana skin. i hope you like.. i certainly do!

Hmmm...I don't know if it's a good idea to add the banana and citrus peels...yeah it has benefits too but I am afraid it will not taste that good... By the way I do smoothies everyday...a combination of spinach,apple,avocado,nuts,banana and chia seeds...


But I would love to try this one day 😊


Thanks for sharing I appreciate it ❤ and welcome to the family! God bless you ❤

I tried making smoothies for a while as a way to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables I consume, for health reasons, since live, raw foods are much better for you than those that are processed and cooked Problem was, the smoothie did not replace any meal; I was just as hungry for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, after a hefty morning smoothie, as I was without the smoothie in my diet... and guess what? Yeah, I gained weight A lot of weight, which I neither wanted nor need It takes a lot longer to lose weight than it does to pack it on

I keep thinking of the old saying "A moment on your lips...........a lifetime on your hips" but naaa it isn't helping me keep junk away, lol.

Shouldn't that have been: Bah-na-naaa?

This sounds interesting. If I ever dig my blender out (packed away due to recent move) I'll have to try it. Thanks for the helpful links too.
