Smoothies made with bananas and flax seeds are nutritious, satisfying, and delicious. Bananas are a good source of nutrition due to their high fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, and mineral content. They are also low in salt. Always with your doctor before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle, and ask about the daily needs that are most appropriate for you. Even while bananas may help with things like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, eating too many of them at once might have negative effects.
Omega-3 fatty acids may be found in abundance in flax seeds. They are a good source of protein and fiber. In addition, the dietary fiber in flax seeds helps maintain a smooth bowel movement, which might benefit those struggling with constipation.
In this piece, I refer to milk as whole milk since it is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. If you want to know how many calories are in an alternative milk, you can find that information on the back of the packaging.
Smoothies made with these three ingredients are a great way to add extra nutrition to your day, whether you drink them with breakfast, lunch, or dinner or as a snack on their own.
The following items are required:
2 ripe bananas, whole (you may add more if you want it thicker).
0.5 ounces of whole milk (any kind of milk will do, from 1-2% to skim to almond to soy milk is OK) If you like a thinner consistency, feel free to add extra milk.
Toasted flax seed, ground to 2 tablespoons (don’t use entire flax seeds; they won’t break down in your stomach, and you won’t receive the nutritional benefit). Avoid using raw seeds, since they may induce gastrointestinal distress; instead, purchase them in their toasted form and ground them in a device for grinding (often a coffee grinder) before use.
2-quarts worth of ice cubes
For optimal results, a blender should be used.
To make this, follow these steps: 1.
Second, peel some bananas, cut them in half, and toss them into the blender.
- Stir in the flax seed powder
- Finally, pour in your preferred milk.
Once all the ingredients have been added, mix them until smooth, and then pour them into a cup or other drinking vessel of your choosing.
Making something takes little time and effort. A banana & flax seed smoothie requires zero skills in the kitchen. The seeds are ground in a coffee grinder. If you have any ground seeds left over, store them in a sealed jar in the fridge until you’re ready to use them again.
