Banana Soothie - white, creamy and ever so calming photo 22/7/20 |
There hasn't been a typographical error -- this truly is a Banana Soothie (even though it might also be considered a smoothie).
A day on this delicious drink (as part of a diet, maybe? Or to soothe a dicky tummy?) will leave you thrilled with how relaxed and happy you feel. You'll be reminded how delicious bananas whizzed up with milk/yoghurt are.
Bananas are full of tryptophan, which converts to the feel-good hormone serotonin. With high levels of B vitamins, they also relax and soothe minds, and help unclench muscles.
They are high in fibre and can benefit heart health, diabetes and digestion. And they're frugal!
As lockdown eases, it's a perfect drink for keeping a positive attitude. Simple and easy to make, it will soothe any fractious/gloomy/anxious
family member, whatever their age.
Ripe bananas are best for this drink.
