Banana Choco Smoothie
Hello, good afternoon sweet #BestNic! During this midday, do you ever crave something sweet and cold like you? (Well, you're just sweet, the cold one is his attitude towards you. Hmm, why #bringitup)
🤷 "Hmm, but how about the sugar rate?"
Thanks to Nonanic for skillfully crafting sweet drinks with goodness inside. This afternoon, let's make smoothies with maple syrup, known for its low glycemic index sugar. This recipe can even be made without any sweeteners at all, you know. Because the ingredients we use are naturally sweet. Curious, right? Let me introduce you to the creamy sweetness,
BANANA CHOCO SMOOTHIE

Bananas and chocolate may not sound like they go together, but believe me, once you try it, you'll definitely want more! The smoothness of bananas makes the smoothies creamy and nutritious, while the chocolate compliments the taste that makes your taste buds happy. Once they're mixed together, it's a perfect blend!
Oh, for the variation of smoothies, you can also freeze the bananas first to make the texture even thicker, or add ice cubes to make it fresher during the day. For example, #BestNic might want to use almond milk for a luxurious creamy touch, or add sweetness with honey, but don't overdo it, or you'll end up too sweet 😆
By the way, do you know?
Bananas contain various important nutrients such as vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium which are good for our bodies. In addition, bananas also contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and phenolic compounds, which help fight free radicals in the body and protect cells from damage.
The raw cacao powder I'm using is also minimally processed, making it much healthier than regular cocoa powder. And this raw cacao can also improve your mood! So it's not only good for the stomach, but also comforting for the heart 🥰
Do you agree that when we choose natural and quality food ingredients, it's like investing in our health? Well, maybe we can start with simple things like making sweet but healthy drinks like this Banana Choco Smoothie.
