This month’s recipe: High-Protein Banana Smoothie
(1 serve)
Ingredients
- 1 small banana
- 1/2 cup full-cream milk
- 1 tbsp full-cream milk powder
- 1 scoop ice cream (about 2 tbsp)
- 2 drops vanilla essence (optional)
Method
- Add everything to a blender (or use a stick blender in a tall cup).
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve chilled.
Why it is high in nutrition
- Soft and easy to swallow (often easier than solid meals when appetite is low)
- Protein + energy in a small volume
- Quick prep (2–3 minutes)
Optional adjustments (common needs)
No blender: mash banana very well and whisk hard (texture won’t be as smooth)
Thicker: use less milk or add extra banana/yoghurt
Extra protein: add 2–3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
