A few facts about vanilla:
- the flavor comes from an orchid native to Mexico
- The word itself comes from Spanish and meand “little pod”
- Vanilla was introduces to Europe by the Spanish explorer Cortes in the early 1500s
- It is delicious!
So today we have a smoothie recipe that makes use of the wonderful vanilla bean and mixes it with both bananas and Almonds for a special treat.
– 2 cups Low fat or fat free milk
- 1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
- 10 crushed almonds
- splash of vanilla extract
- 2 large bananas
- 1 cup ice cubes (feel free to add or subtract as necessary)
- fresh mint leaves for garnish (if desired)
Put everything but the mint leaves in your mixer and blend until smooth. For an added touch of panache, serve with a garnish of fresh mint leaves.
If you want to include more omega 3 fatty acids naturally to your foods, add a teaspoon of ground chia seed to your mix. Chia won’t change either the flavor or the consistency of your smoothie and will add a great deal of nutritional value.
