Yummy Banana Smoothie Recipe | Integrity Cosmetics

Tracey’s very own banana smoothie recipe: A healthy snack, breakfast alternative, or simply to keep you going between meals. Great for overall health and contributes to glowing skin.

Pour 400 ml of room temperature filtered water into a blender

Why room temperature? Particularly in the colder weather and all year round for some body types, room temperature liquid in your smoothie makes it easier to digest, gentler on your system and doesn’t cool your body as refrigerated liquid will, helping you to retain heat.

Add 1 roughly chopped banana

3-4 teaspoons of organic natural yoghurt

1 teaspoon of LSA (linseed, almond, sunflower mix) is high in anti oxidants and is a good source of Omega 3 and Omega 6. These essential fatty acids are terrific for generating healthy skin. LSA is also an anti aging mixture.

1 teaspoon of organic honey

1 teaspoon of organic essential greens powder – gluten free and suitable for vegans, gives your greens intake a boost for the day. Chlorella and Spirulina based, this green powder is packed with vitamins and minerals. The powder is a good alternative if you don’t have a few handfuls of fresh spinach leaves on hand!

Whiz in the blender until smooth.

Water can be substituted for milk, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, oat milk for a slightly thicker and heavier texture. This banana smoothie wacks a punch and is a nutritious snack that will keep your calories down and your fat intake if you’re watching your waistline!
