This is a great drink for body building. Wheatgerm, the most nutritious part of the wheat grain, is packed with B and E vitamins, protein and minerals. When you combine it with bananas, you get a great carbohydrate-rich drink that is boosted by the goodness of orange juice and linseed and is perfect before exercise. Linseed contains essential fatty acids that are good for the heart.

Ingredients:

30ml/2 tablespoon wheatgerm
1 large banana, chopped
130gm/4oz (a generous cup) soya yoghurt
15ml/1 tablespoon linseed (flax seeds)
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 large orange
Mineral water (optional)
Linseed and grated lime zest, for decoration

Method:

1. Put the wheatgerm, the banana, the yoghurt and linseed in a blender or food processor.

2. Blend until smooth then scrape down the sides of the bowl.

3. Stir well.

4. Add the lime and orange juice to the yoghurt mixture.

5. Blend again until evenly mixed.

6. Pour the juice into a large glass and top up with mineral water, if desired.

7. Use the linseed and lime zest to decorate, then serve.

Makes 1 large glass

I want to know if it would be okay to add sprinkles like chocolate ones or colored ones in a banana smoothie?

They will most likely dissolve and maybe discolor your smoothie if added in the blender. I would either stir them in or sprinkle them on top.

I want to make a banana smoothie for New Year’s. I have pineapple, mango, kiwi, and banana.  Can you give me the recipe to make the smoothie I don’t know if to add water?, milk? How much ice do I put in?

Just throw it all in together, add a handful of ice and go for it. You can’t go wrong with fresh fruit– it all tastes good.

What are some good banana smoothie recipes including one for a choc banana smoothie?

My son loves this:

You will need:

about 8 strawberries, washed and stalks removed

2 ripe bananas, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 tbsp runny honey

00ml cold milk P

Put the fruit, honey and about half the milk into an electric blender and blend until smooth.

Add the rest of the milk and blend thoroughly again.

Do not over-blend or the mixture will become too frothy.

Hope you like this : )

For more strawberry recipes, have a look at www.tried-and-tested-recipes.com

For chocolate banana smoothie, blend 1/2 ripe banana with 250ml of your favorite chocolate milk. Do not use powdered chocolate as this would make the smoothie powdery.

Hope this helps.
