Are Banana Smoothies Good for You?

Bananas are a fan-favourite fruit for a reason. Underneath their bright yellow exterior is a fruit that can provide a significant quantity of fibre. Also, and perhaps most notably, bananas are a source of potassium and manganese.

Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal muscle function.

Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and maintenance of normal bones.

Now that you know what bananas bring to the table, it’s no wonder they make an excellent addition to your smoothie. From breakfast to a nutritious afternoon treat, there are so many ways to add them to your routine.
