Banana shake is a drink that is equally loved by both adults and children. It can be consumed at any time of the day. It is especially good to offer a banana cocktail to guests at a summer party. Until recently, these exotic fruits were infrequent guests at our tables. But now bananas are eaten in every family and even small children try them from birth. Before you figure out how to make a banana shake, you need to talk about the benefits of these fruits.
Bananas are believed to boost mood. They are wonderful to saturate, and also have unique taste. According to doctors, this fruit really contains endorphins - hormones of good mood. In addition, it contains serotonin, known for its ability to stimulate various positive reactions of the body. But despite the mass of positive properties, these fruits are very high in calories. Therefore, if you are on a diet or just not too happy with your figure, do not abuse them. One banana contains about 80 calories. So, one or two bananas a day is not scary.
A banana shake will bring the necessary amount of magnesium and potassium to your body. In addition, bananas remarkably increase mental performance. This quality is especially valuable in our age of constant hustle and bustle.
Bananas help the heart work thanks to its potassium content. After all, if this trace element is not enough, then arrhythmia can occur. It is necessary for good liver function. And Italians even use bananas as a natural sleeping pill. They make a banana shake with cognac and cinnamon and drink it at night.
It is important to know that unripened bananas only bring harm to the body. They contain a lot of starch, so gas formation can occur. Do not store these fruits in the refrigerator or bag. This should be done at room temperature, as well as low humidity.
If you want to please guests, children or yourself with a tasty and healthy drink, then a banana cocktail is what you need. Here is an example of such a vitamin drink: you will need two bananas, 100 milliliters of cream, four kiwi, two tablespoons of sugar syrup, 200 milliliters of water. It is best to cook a banana shake in a blender. Although if you do not have such a device, you can use a meat grinder, an ordinary whisk or a sieve. Peel the bananas and kiwi, cut them into small pieces and leave a few for decoration. They must be crushed until a homogeneous mass is formed. Now whip the chilled cream into a froth, mix them with grated fruits and sugar syrup. Then all this needs to be whipped, slightly diluted with mineral water and pour into tall glasses. Delayed fruit slices must be cut and put on glasses.
Banana milkshakes can also be made using ice cream. Take one banana, 300 grams of milk and 100 grams of ice cream. Now cut the banana and chop it in a blender, add milk, whisk again, and then put the ice cream in the same place and continue whisking for several minutes. Garnish the finished cocktail with a banana slice and whipped cream.
A banana smoothie can also be cooked hot. Take half a liter of milk, one banana, a little cinnamon, one vanilla bean, 50 grams of dark chocolate. You need to heat the milk in a saucepan, put the vanilla pod, cut lengthwise. Get him out. Banana should be chopped in a blender and added to milk. Continuing to heat the mixture, put the broken chocolate into it. Wait until the cocktail becomes homogeneous, remove the pan from the heat and pour into cups. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Such a banana cocktail will help you keep warm on a cold morning and cheer yourself up.
