Banana Oat Smoothie Recipe

Banana is one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world. There are over 1000 varieties of bananas found globally, however, some varieties are said to be clones of other varieties that originated in Southeast Asia. The banana is from the berry family. Some varieties are eaten as a fruit while the others are used for cooking. It is a healthy source of vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, biotin, and copper. It is often seen in cyclists’ jersey pockets as bananas are low in fat and rich in the carbohydrates needed to refuel the muscles during a ride. Banana is also called the happy fruit. It contains tryptophan which is converted into serotonin, the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter. It also wards off bad moods and reduces PMS symptoms. Eating bananas regulate blood sugar, which may relieve stress. It may also soothe morning sickness during pregnancy.
