Summer smoothies

Summer smoothies are a refreshing and nutritious way to beat the heat. This simple and tasty recipe combines the creaminess of Greek yogurt and milk with the natural sweetness of banana and honey, enhanced with a hint of cinnamon, to create a delicious and satisfying drink.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup greek yogurt
180g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 banana
120g
1 tbsp honey
10g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready. Peel the banana and cut it into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the Greek yogurt, milk, banana chunks, honey, and cinnamon.
3. Blend: Start blending on a low speed to mix the ingredients together, then increase the speed to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of banana.
4. Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency. Blend again briefly to mix the additional milk.
5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a bit more honey and blend again.
6. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top for garnish if desired.
7. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing summer smoothie!

Tips:

- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices.

- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, and use almond milk or any other plant-based milk.

- Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutritional boost without altering the taste significantly.

- For added flavor, consider throwing in a splash of vanilla extract or a few fresh mint leaves.

- To adjust sweetness, you can add more honey, or replace it with maple syrup or agave nectar.

This summer smoothie is not only quick to make but also packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it a great choice for a healthy breakfast or snack. Enjoy this delightful treat to cool down on a hot summer day and to energize yourself throughout the day.
