Main Ingredients- 1 cup Milk (approx. 200ml)
- 1 Banana (ripe)
- 2 Brazil nuts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s gather the core ingredients for our vibrant smoothie. You’ll need one cup of milk (about 200ml). Fresh dairy milk provides a classic base, but feel free to substitute with soy milk or almond milk to suit your preference. For an extra creamy consistency, you can either use plain yogurt (about half a cup) instead of milk, or add it along with the milk. Next, take one ripe banana. Peel it and break or slice it into a few manageable pieces – the riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your smoothie will be! Finally, we have our star ingredient: two Brazil nuts. These nuts are packed with nutrients and add a wonderful, subtle richness to the drink. If you enjoy a stronger nutty flavor, you can add up to three nuts.
Step 2
To make blending easier and ensure a smooth texture, chop the banana into roughly 1-2 inch pieces. As for the Brazil nuts, you can either lightly crush them with your hands or simply add them whole if your blender is powerful enough. Pre-chopping the banana helps the blender work more efficiently, leading to a perfectly smooth and enjoyable smoothie.
Step 3
Now it’s time to combine everything in your blender. It’s often best to add the liquid first – pour in your milk (or yogurt). This helps the blender blades move more freely initially. Then, add the chopped banana and the Brazil nuts. If you’d like your smoothie a bit sweeter, this is the time to add your honey or maple syrup. For a refreshingly cold drink, toss in a few ice cubes as well.
Step 4
Secure the lid on your blender and process all the ingredients until they are completely smooth and well combined. This typically takes about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on your blender’s power. You’re aiming for a creamy, velvety consistency with no chunks of banana or whole nuts remaining. Once it looks perfectly smooth, pour your delicious Brazil nut banana smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!
