You can drink the banana shake for breakfast, it is rich and is also characterized by fiber. This shake will energize you and keep you full until lunch.

• You will quickly feel the benefits of these drinks if you drink them for breakfast or in between in the afternoon and replace the usual bread or cake as well as sweets.

A classic: banana and chocolate shake

The banana gives the drink a creamy, sweet taste, which is why it is the most important ingredient in this shake. She should be ripe.

• banana
• Almond milk
• Pure cocoa powder

You can buy the almond milk in liquid or cream form and dilute it with water as you wish.

Since both the almond milk and the banana are already sweet, you most likely won’t need any additional sweetener. This shake is nutritious, so we recommend it for breakfast. So you have energy and you won’t get hungry anytime soon.

This shake tastes deliciously of banana and cocoa, but contains neither chocolate nor cream.

Strawberry shake

This drink tastes delicious but does not contain cream, sugar or milk.

• Fresh strawberries
• Oat or rice milk
• Agave syrup
• nuts

Oat or rice milk can replace cream; you can buy this in health food stores or in some supermarkets. Mix the strawberries with the oat milk and pour the shake into a glass.

Then decorate the drink with agave syrup and crushed nuts. This shake is perfect for breakfast or as a snack, you can  also serve it as a dessert. In this case, you can also decorate it with a strawberry.

Shake with tropical fruits

This drink can be made with different fruits. It has a refreshing, dehydrating effect and helps burn fat.

• Fresh pineapple
• Coconut milk or cream
• Turmeric (powder)
• Stevia (liquid and pure)

The turmeric gives the shake an intense yellow color. This spice has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. So it is recommended for people who suffer from pain.

Stevia is a natural, calorie-free sweetener, but it should be clear and pure so it doesn’t change the taste of the drink too much. A little splash is enough as stevia is very sweet.

Then decorate the shake with some grated coconut.

Shake with baked apples

You can also eat this shake as a warm cream for dessert, it is digestive and filling. We recommend this drink in the cold season, it will warm you even though it is low in calories.

• Baked apples
• Lean yogurt
• cinnamon
• grated lemon peel (untreated, organic lemon)
• honey

Puree the baked apples (with the skin if you want more fiber and a laxative effect) with the yogurt and then add the cinnamon and the grated lemon zest. If you want the drink a little sweeter, you can use a little honey.

Other healthy ingredients

You can then use other health-promoting ingredients for the shakes:

• Brewer’s yeast: good for hair, skin and nails
• Spirulina in powder form : gives the shakes a green color and then helps with weight loss

• Maca in powder form : has an energetic effect, regulates the hormonal balance and improves hair, skin and nails
• Ginger: helps you lose weight and also has a warming effect.
