By Dr Joe
Green banana smoothie? Ever wondered if you could eat a green banana?
Yes, you can. This green banana smoothie is not green in colour if that’s what you were expecting. It is simply made using a green banana and it still tastes great.
Why green banana? Well, if you want a decent amount of resistant starch in your diet, then a green banana recipe like this one is a great place to start.
And you will be glad to know it is easy to make. All you need is pulverizer like the Nutribullet and you are good to go.
Green bananas are safe to eat eat. I’d thought that reassurance about the safety of green bananas is necessary upfront for those who may have doubts about green bananas.
What do we need for the green banana smoothie recipe?
Ingredients:
Green banana X 3 (You may use 2 only as space in the nutribullet jar could be an issue)
Apple X 1
Blueberries X 150 gm
Natural yogurt X 200 gm
Stawberries X 150 gm
Non-dairy milk X 80 mls
How to make the green banana smoothie
>> Slice up your bananas and apple.
>> Add the blueberries into the Nutribullet jar.
>> Chuck in half of the sliced bananas, then the strawberries.
>> Add the apple and some of the natural yogurt.
>> Blitz the content of the nutribullet for about 35 seconds and pause the nutribullet.
>> Add the remaining sliced banana and the non-dairy milk. I use Hemp milk because it just tastes great. You may use any other non-dairy milk like almond milk, soya milk, rice milk etc.
>> Then blitz the content again for another 30 seconds.
>> You may add as much milk as possible depending how thick or thin you want the green banana smoothie to be.
That’s it. Your green banana smoothie is ready for you.
As for blood sugar integrity test for the green banana smoothie, I got a blood gluocse reading of 4.7 mmol/l (84.6 mg/dl). Now you can get a good dose of resistant starch that is tasty and will fight fat at the same time. How cool is that!
