Banana Smoothie

Published on 4 January 2025 by Andrew Owen (1 minutes)

Having spent a year each living in Australia and New Zealand at the turn of the century, one thing I missed on my return to Europe was a decent banana smoothie. It must contain yogurt and fiber, but ice cream has no place in a real smoothie.

• 1 ripe banana (peeled and chopped)
• 120 ml whole milk
• 60 ml natural yogurt (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tbsp wheat germ (can substitute 20 g rolled oats)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 ice cubes
