    Recipe Inspiration / Background

    If you love banana bread or banana muffins, then you will definitely be going to love this banana bread smoothie.

    And, how is it so? 

    Because this smoothie contains all those flavors that you would find in banana bread or muffins. And, it hardly takes 5 mins. to prepare and perfect super easy and quick breakfast for busy mornings. Who would deny this?

    I love very few things that are sweet. Banana muffins are one of those few sweet items that I like to savor.

    If you are not a first-time visitor to our website, you would see, that I like to alter recipes and give them a healthy twist. For example, a few weeks back, I shared a healthy whole wheat banana bread recipe. We enjoy it for our breakfasts with a hot cup of tea. We both don't drink coffee usually. Especially, I am a big fan of tea. And Indian masala chai....Ahhh!...it is so addictive. And those who love Indian masala chai can imagine my pleasure. See how addictive it is that I got distracted from our banana bread smoothie. Let’s talk more about it.

    Banana Bread Smoothie

    I have made banana smoothies several times before. But this time I gave it a twist and made it taste like banana bread.

    To make this power booster healthy smoothie, I use granola, walnuts, skim milk, and of course, ripe banana. Use non-fat plain greek yogurt to give it a creamy texture. If you will look at the banana bread recipe, you can find this smoothie contains everything that can go into bread.  I used granola to replace flour because I like its toasted nutty flavor. If you are okay with the flavor of raw oats, you can use those instead of granola.

    And, what is great about this smoothie! it is

    • super-quick to make
    • nutty
    • healthy
    • naturally sweetened
    • nutritious
    • helpful if you are watching your weight

    Health Benefits!

    This banana bread smoothie is healthy as it contains

    • Chia seeds are a powerhouse of protein and good fats.
    • Oats are rich in dietary fibers.
    • Bananas are rich in minerals and vitamins.
    • No added processed sugar. It is naturally sweetened from sugars in bananas and honey.

      I just made this and it was super tasty!! Made it without the yogurt and swapped the honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.

      I have a banana each and everyday for breakfast, and this may replace it! So good. All the ingredients sound yummy together, just like banana bread, with a twist. i really like smoothies in the warmer weather and they are so easy to take with me when I'm on the go!

        Yes, Dawn adding granola really makes it delicious and filling. I am not so a fan of raw oats. So, I added granola and it turned out really tasty. 🙂
