Description
Everybody loves bananas especially for their health reasons as well as their color and shape. One of the biggest myths is the belief that consumption of banana shake is a weight inducing treat. A basic banana shake requirement is one banana and a glass of low-fat milk. Bananas by nature have negligible fatty content, while milk is a diary product. Recent studies tend to lead to the fact that high intake of dairy fats leads to reduction in stomach fat.
Both banana and milk contain a low-medium level Glycemic Index, so the carbohydrate content will also not make you fat. Besides, it provides you with minerals, fibers, calcium and vitamins, which obviously will still not make you fat.
The health benefits of banana milkshakes cannot be over emphasized; one serving of home-made banana shake is filled with loads of minerals, nutrients, and vitamins.
You can tailor make your shake's ingredients to suit your taste and ensure you have a drink with a rich content of health benefit to drink for breakfast, on the go or for meal replacement.
Always go organic, substitute the use of artificial juice and concentrates with home-made organically processed fruit juice.
Ice cream serves as the traditional base for a milk shake. Go for lower quality brands which tend to have healthier effects with fewer calories and less saturated fat than premium brands. The right choice should be churned styled ice-cream which taste as good as the premium brand but has low calorie and fatty content.
Milk is the next highest calorie provider is another ingredient which substitute must be considered. Go for no fat milk options with a less than 100 calories per serving. Other alternatives to non-fat milk you should consider are soy (soya bean) milk, coconut and almond milk.
Total amount of calories obtained depends on how you make your banana shake; you can come up with about 250-500 calories with 1 average sized banana, 1 cup of milk and ½ cup of ice-cream. Do yourself the favor of checking out the nutritional facts, when buying banana shakes at restaurants go for smaller sized shakes, which will be at about 300 to 600 calorie content than larger milkshakes which boasts of 1000 or more calories per serving. Prepare yourself for this blockbuster and have a swell time preparing home-made Banana Shake delicacy to light up your day.
