Banana Nektarine Smoothie


I made this yesterday after a bike tour, so good!

Banana Nektarine Smoothie

(serves 2)

  • 300g firm plain yoghurt
  • 50-100 ml milk, depending on how thick you like your smoothie
  • 1 banana
  • 1 nektarine
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional - you will find that using ripe fruit, you most likely won't need any additional sweetness)
Using a blender, puree all ingredients until smooth. You want your fruit to be really ripe for maximum flavour and natural sweetness - your banana should have at least a few brown spots and the nektarine should be soft.
Done right, smoothies are so good for you! The pack calcium, vitamins and protein, are great when you're pressed for time in the morning and really help with that afternoon low. My nutritionist recommended I have one every day - read more on the heath benefits of smoothies here!
