Shilpa Shetty Kundra's healthy special summer smoothie recipe is worth a try!Shilpa Shetty Kundra's healthy special summer smoothie recipe is worth a try!

Shilpa has been regularly posting interesting, quick and healthy recipes on her channel.

If you have been thinking of spiking up your summer mornings with some healthy, nutritious recipes then Shilpa Shetty Kundra just came to your rescue.

On her YouTube channel, Shilpa posted a video of her making a fig and banana smoothie. The video tutorial shows Shetty putting her kitchen prowess to use by making a quick and yummy recipe that takes only a few minutes to prepare and is ideal to quench the thirst while nourishing the body during long summer days.

Here’s the recipe for Shilpa’s fig and banana smoothie:

Ingredients

  • Banana 1
  • Fresh figs 2 (You can use dry figs too)
  • Almond milk – 1 glass
  • Honey -1 teaspoon
  • Flax seeds – 1 table spoon

Method:

In a blender mix all the ingredients along with a few ice cubes and whisk together. Once the ingredients are blended well pour in a glass and serve chilled.

Shilpa has been regularly posting interesting, quick and healthy recipes on her channel. Apart from being a fitness freak, Shilpa is known for her love of healthy eating. She begins her mornings with a healthy often-uncooked breakfast such as avocado or nuts.

So the theme for Viaans party was "Masterchef" (since my son loves to cook) We baked his cake together.. Great activity to keep them engaged?#unconditionnallove #birthdayboy#lovebaking #happiness #sonday

As a mother of a five-year-old, Shilpa definitely knows the importance of experimenting with nutritious snack ideas for kids. A smoothie serves as an ideal snack or a breakfast drink and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. But it works especially well with kids and toddlers who are beginning to experiment with real foods.

Shilpa also gives us a super tip in the video, that of sneaking in some flax seeds, once ground they can easily be consumed by kids without them getting to know the power food blended in their smoothie. Mums can also use the same trick to get their kids eat some nuts by blending them in the smoothies.

 

Only hard work and dedication are the keys to success. Change never comes easy but it is always within reach. Give your 100% and see the transformation!  #ShilpaKaMantra #swasthrahomastraho

So before you head to your kitchens and shake up Shilpa’s smoothie in your home kitchens let break down its nutritive value too.

Why smoothie is a healthy choice

Unlike in juice, a smoothie preserves the fiber of the fruits and vegetable that are added to it. It gives instant energy with its boost of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.

Since the skin, pith and other ingredients are blended smoothly it keeps the digestive system healthy while ingredients such as milk or yoghurt provide calcium. Substituting honey with sugar is an excellent way to cut down on empty calories.

Banana Benefits: A rich source of vitamins B6 and C. It also contains potassium, manganese, fiber and protein. Bananas are especially recommended for kids as they are helpful in building strong bones and good eyesight. Bananas also prevent anemia in kids.

Fig benefits: Figs act as natural laxatives for infants they also aid digestion and boost up the immune system.  Figs, when pureed, provide the babies with essential vitamins and nutrients. Older kids can have it as a snack both in fresh and in dried forms.

Flax seeds benefits: One of the richest plant based source of Omega 3 fatty acids, flax seeds help a child’s bone development. It is a good source of protein and is rich in fiber. Adding as a salad topping for older children is a good way to introduce it in diet. Younger children can have it mixed in soups or smoothies.

Honey benefits: To avoid infant botulism, honey should be included in a baby’s diet only when they are one year old or older.  In older children it helps combat cough while providing essential minerals. It also helps wounds heal faster and includes all the form of sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose.

It also contains amino acids. Topping your kids’ pancakes with honey or adding a spoon in milk and cereals is a great way to add honey in diet.

Almond milk benefits: Almond milk is a plant-based substitute for milk. They are high in calcium and vitamin D. It works especially well for children who may be lactose intolerant.
