To make orange banana smoothie, i juice the oranges first.
Add the nuts to the blender jar, powder finely. Add the orange juice and banana. Blend till smooth. It tastes great even without nuts.
There are so many other healthy ingredients to add to this smoothie like a tsp of ground chia seeds or flax seeds or sabja seeds.
The smoothie is flavorful on its own, little orange zest or ginger can also be added.

Hi Swathi, I am new to ur site.. I also like to follow Ayurveda kind of food habits, I give milk shake to my 21/2 year old with banana and blueberries. Is that ok to give?
swasthi says
Hi Ajay,
Banana and blueberries can be give like a smoothie. If you like to make a milkshake use vegan milk like almond milk or oat milk but not cow’s milk.
