however a natural fruit and a "food" so eaten in moderation, especially for breakfast when you have a busy morning ahead of you is okay. If not, leave out the banana and go for a berry smoothie instead! Try squeezing your own fruit juices.
Ingredients:
•1 1/4 cups natural orange juice
•1/2 ripe small banana, peeled and sliced (12g of sugar per 100g and 23g of carbs, but 2.6g in dietary fibre)
•1 1/2 cups frozen berries such as blueberries or raspberries
•1/2 cup silken tofu (optional - it has 2.7g of sugar per 100g and 1.9g of carbs)
•a few ice cubes, crushed
Directions:
Mix orange juice, banana, berries, tofu & crushed ice until smooth and frothy. Very tasty – brimming with soy protein, fibre and a host of other nutrients. Give this smoothie the party look by decorating with an umbrella, straw and slice of fruit.
