A super easy smoothie in the morning, just 5 minutes of blending and pour either in a tall glass or a to-go bottle.
I like a little tartness; therefore, I don’t add any sweetener to my smoothie. If your palate is not ready for it yet you can add a little bit of honey/maple syrup or half a banana to soften it a bit. Personally I try to avoid bananas as much as possible in Europe as they are not native to the region and are artificialy ripened. For me being from an island I know the taste of naturally ripened bananas and I find that the bananas here in Europe have a bitter dry aftertaste. Sometimes it can’t be avoided and I definitely add it when I know it will improve a dish.
I like to top it off with a little bit of coconut flakes to add more texture. Because it’s quite a thick smoothie you can also use this as a base for your smoothie bowl and top it with a little bit of almond slivers, coconut flakes, or anything else to your liking. It’s very easy to get creative with this one.

Kyara, last month we spent 11 days in St. Lucia and ate bananas every day. They were so good! At home, we never eat bananas but when we got home (US), I got a bunch, just to see the difference. I agree with you! The bananas taste completely different away from their natural environment. They taste bland and they do have a slightly bitter dry aftertaste… Here, they are only good for banana bread when they get over-ripe. 🙂
Hi Ilona, I hope you enjoyed your time in St.Lucia. I think it becomes more difficult once you know the difference. We are curious to know when you try any of our other recipes, so keep the comments coming ?!
