Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes – Banana Smoothie (Save/Pin)

  • Banana – This is a super food and a great fruit to eat at the start of a day! Keep up full, is packed with nutrition and is low in calories..
  • Dates – weather fresh or dries this is another super food and the benefits are countless.!  My husband believes in dates so much he eats minimum one a day.
  • Protein Powder – This is optional. Sometimes I use and sometimes I do without. Today I have not used any protein powder for this one but  I often buy either whey, hemp or pea.  the choices are plenty and you can choose which ever suits your diet.
  • Ice – I do use ice but if I use frozen fruits I omit the ice so it’s not too Icy. It’s a personal choice here.
  • Coconut Milk – I love the addition of mango and coconut  – so refreshing and so creamy. If you prefer you can stick to yogurt, milk, almond milk or even water.
  • Chia – In my previous post, we spoke about chia and the benefits of chia so I’m going to let you go have a read – Strawberry Banana Chai Smoothie.

  2. I currently have about 12 over ripe bananas in a deep hibernation on the top shelf of my freezer — just waiting for this kind of inspiration! Thank you Veena! You always come through with the plan!

  6. One of my favorite smoothies from a local shop is a banana date one! I have never been a protein powder person so I think I may sub with a nut butter and cross my fingers that I’m still getting enough protein but other than that substitute this recipe looks great! Love how you use dates and banana as natural sweeteners.
