It’s first April and my ‘Healthy Living & healthy Eating’ challenge has begun. I am about to share all healthy recipes in here this month. So if you are thinking about some healthy food, all greens and soups keep coming here throughout April. What I am trying to do this month is – no processed food, no cheese, no deep frying, lots of greens and fruits. Sounds exciting?
Okay, first things first, I’ll quickly give you today’s recipe that’s starting with A. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you say A for?? Apple of course!! Thanks to my infant son I have loads of Apple lying around so it was my obvious choice.
It’s super hot in India right now. I don’t know if we are again waiting for another heatwave this year. You need to keep yourself hydrated all the time and yet keep in mind about the nutrition. I have chucked out aerated beverages from my life forever and also the packaged fruit drinks. I now firmly believe in making my own beverages. Thus today I give you Apple and Banana Smoothie!
HEALTH BENEFIT
Any smoothie with banana in it is super food for you.
Bananas are rich source of potassium
They help in maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function.
Also a great source healthy carbohydrate.
Remember how athletes always munch on bananas?
Apples are a good source of dietary fiber, important antioxidants and flavanoids.

Smoothies are a quick and healthy way to add veggies, fruit, protein and probiotics to you and your family’s diet in a tasty and enjoyable way. I am going to try this recipe out very soon.

Thank you Novemberschild.
Looks good, would try it this morning but I am out of bananas, perhaps I will try it tomorrow. Healthy eating is always a goal of mine….sometimes I fail, so it is always good to collect new recipes.
I was gonna ask about the lime.. thanks for clarifying it. And yes, this summer is killing me and I am on the lookout exactly for recipes like this 🙂
We enjoy many types of smoothies here in the United States. Never tried adding apple, but why not? (Plus, I live in a major apple growing area so it's local food, too!)
that's a healthy at the same time yummy go to drink this summers!
This looks so good. 😀 I have never tried lime juice in milk version… will check it out 😀

That does look very delicious! I moved to a hot part of the United States (Phoenix, Arizona) so this could be good to make when it starts warming up here!
