Banana, Berry, Berry banana fig smoothie, Fig, smoothie, Yogurt

I love banana’s and yeah I can’t live without it 😛 I had got some raspberries few days back. So thought of making a smoothie with these two. I have some health issue for which I was suggested to have banana and fig everyday. I like the crunchy seeds of fig. This time I wanted to make it with Yogurt instead of milk, so that I can get a bit of sour taste as well. Its a mixed taste smoothie.

Ingredients:

Banana : 1 (preferably organic)

Fig : 2 ( chopped)

Yogurt : 1 scoop

Raspberry : 8 to 10

Method:

As usual put them all in a blender and mix well. Make sure there are no lumps of fig in the smoothie.

A big no to sugar or honey with this, as all the ingredients are already sweet.

My pic didn’t come well, I noticed it after finishing it hehehe 🙂 it was actually pretty pink because of the blue background this looks orange, next time I would try getting much clear picture friends 🙂 But the taste was too good, that I couldn’t wait to check my pics 😛

Pomegranate is another gem of fruits well known for its medicinal values. It aids in digestions and weight loss. Many a time in the morning I used to have only pomegranate juice for my breakfast.  It helps stomach upsets, menopausal hot flashes, hemorrhoids, conjunctivitis, osteoarthritis, lowers blood pressure, stimulates the immune system, wards off the flu, reduces inflammation, reduces risk of heart disease and lowers cholesterol. It boosts immunity as well.

Dates is another weight loss food. They are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants and the essential minerals potassium and magnesium.  Both dates and pomegranate have high Iron content which is very good for health specially for ladies…

And here is my fruits Thursday 🙂

Ingredients:

Pomegranate : 1 medium

milk : 100ml

Dates : 2 to 3 (seeds removed)

Cashew : 3

almonds/walnuts : 3

Method: Just remove the pomegranate seeds, put them in a blender. Add milk, dates, cashew, either almonds or walnuts. There is no need for sugar in this as the fruit itself has the required sugars and dates gives the sweet taste. Blend it well. Grind for 3 to 4 mins, and filter the seeds from the smoothie and serve.
