I know what you’re thinking, “What in the world is a BanaRaspElla Smoothie?” This recipe is one of my creations… Bana for Banana, Rasp for Raspberry, Ella for Nutella. Do the math!

Bananas and raspberries happen to be my two absolute favorite fruits. Honestly! I’m not a fruit person at all, I hate eating them, and it’s so much work. However, I’m not getting any younger and I need to incorporate more fruits in my diet which is why I’ve been on a smoothie craze lately. The exception is bananas and raspberries, the only two fruits that I can eat anytime.
So in honor of my best friend, Anu, I wanted to make a smoothie that combined my favorite fruits and her favorite ingredient, Nutella. Corny enough for you? 🙂
NUTRITION: Bananas are a very good source of Vitamin B6. They are also a good source of Vitamin C and Fiber.
Raspberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and Fiber, in addition to Antioxidants. They are a good source of Folic Acid and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
Milk is a very good source of Calcium and Vitamin D. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamins A and K.
Nutella is surprisingly made of Skim Milk, however it does contain a decent amount of fat, it is hazelnut chocolate after all.
INGREDIENTS:
- Ice Cubes – 2
