Video Blog: Tommy’s Banana Smoothie

G’day Guys, It’s Tommy here in the Raw Blend kitchen again and today I am going to be making you one of my all time favourite recipes, my Banana Smoothie recipe. I make this recipe at least 2-3 times a week and it’s one of my go-to recipes because this smoothie is full of fibre, potassium and low GI carbohydrates to give you sustained energy throughout the day!

So let’s get started …

Equipment

• Vitamix 2L Wet Container

Ingredients

• 2 bananas
• 1 small handful blanched almonds
• 4 dates (pitted)
• 1 Tbsp raw honey or sweetener of choice
• 1 good dash cinnamon
• 1 good dash nutmeg
• 2-3 cups ice
• garnish with nutmeg

Method

1. Put all the ingredients into the Vitamix 2L container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Select Variable 1. Turn the machine on and quickly increase the speed to 10, then override to High.
3. Use tamper to effectively press the ingredients into the blades if required whilst processing.
4. Blend for 30-60 seconds or until desired consistency is reached.
