       Today it's all about Bananas, initially I wanted to take you back to some kitchen basics and necessities, but I decided to change my mind.
So here's a little tale with live from Bananas.

With Love From Bananas

Some  few days back, I had this strong feeling. As much as I tried to ignore it and talk myself out of it I just couldn't.
 So I had to pause the movie I was watching, "The Vow"; that was the name of the movie.
 #Psst.... that was the umpteenth time I was seeing that movie, *rolls eyes*, ya ya silly me right? I know.

 Well the strong feeling and the urgent reason why I had to take my eyes off gorgeous Channing and lovely Rachel (#don'tlookatmelikethat. Rachel is gorgeous too, but Channing is GORGEOUS!!!) was because I was having this incessant craving for something to snack on.

So I marched into the kitchen on a quest to satisfy my cravings, but alas! there was absolutely nothing to snack on in the fridge.
Nothing.At.All, except some left over Bananas that had this love-me-or-leave-me look.
Trust me if the bananas could talk they would have said those exact words.

 Any who, I thought to myself, why not blend them into an incredible smoothie.
 It wasn't what I had in mind when I marched into the kitchen with my imaginary troop, but it would do just fine, cuz it's luscious and nutritious at the same time.

Well here is the recipe, you should really try it.

Super Smoothie

5 medium ripe bananas
2 glasses of yoghurt or milk (which can be either low fat or no fat)
Ice cubes (To make your smoothie even more creamy #this is no essential though)
Blender (what you need to be sure of, is that the blender you have is good enough to crush ice if you intend using them)

-Throw all in (yoghurt,ice cubes and bananas) into the blender.

- Blend for 2-3 minutes and voila!, just like magic, you have this creamy tasty smoothie. Makes 4 glasses of smoothie.
*(Check out pixie dust for kitchen secrets and tips.)

Here is the smoothie

1. Bananas are one of the most commonly consumed foods in the world. It has a low glycemic index; Hey no need to look confused, I'll explain.
Glycemic index ratio of a food estimates how quickly the carbohydrates are digested and released into the blood stream as glucose.

2. Bananas provide high levels levels of several essential vitamins and minerals. An excellent source of potassium, a mineral that helps to regulate blood pressure and heart function.

3.  Using an unsweetened yoghurt for your smoothie will even be more healthy. This is ideal for those trying to lose weight and stay in shape.

4.  You can make this smoothie with other fruits such as; Mangoes, Pawpaw e.t.c.

5.  For fun, you can give your smoothie a rich crunch by tossing in a few nuts into your smoothie, such as; Cashew nuts, Peanuts or any nut of  your choice.

             Now that you know how easy it is to make this delicious healthy smoothie at home, hope you get started today and indulge.

      Take good care of yourselves and have a gorgeous weekend ahead. Lots of love.
