Low-calorie smoothies are a delicious option as a nutritious breakfast or even a light lunch when you’re following an Intermittent Fasting or Partial Meal Replacement diet plan.
Our OPTIFAST Shakes can be blended with ice and water to make a delicious smoothie when you’re following a total diet replacement plan.
When you begin to introduce more conventional foods into your diet, you can still enjoy a nutritious smoothie, but now with the option of adding in more fresh fruit along with skimmed milk or fat-free yoghurt, to make a more substantial drink.
For those on a vegan diet, you can easily adapt the recipe by using plant-based milk and leaving out the honey, using another type of sweetener instead – when you’re tracking your daily calorie intake, just remember to adjust the calorie count for any changes you make.
Peel and slice the banana into small ½ inch rounds.
Add the sliced banana along with the milk, yoghurt and honey into a food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until you have a smooth consistency.
If the smoothie is too thick to drink, add a small amount of cold water to loosen the mixture and blend again.
Pour the smoothie mixture into two glasses and serve immediately.
