Banana-Date-Garlic Smoothie (Health Tonic)

Banana-Date-Garlic Smoothie (Health Tonic)

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas

• 2–3 garlic cloves (peeled)

• 6–8 pitted dates

• 1 cup water (or plant-based milk for a creamier texture)

Optional Add-ins:

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to cut garlic sharpness)

• 1 tablespoon chia or flax seeds

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
   Peel the bananas and garlic. Pit the dates if not already pitted.

2. Blend:
   Add bananas, garlic, dates, and water (or milk) into a blender. Blend on high until smooth.

3. Adjust:
   Taste the smoothie. If the garlic is too strong, you can add more banana or a splash of lemon juice to balance it out.

4. Serve:
   Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Health Notes:

• Garlic is known for its antimicrobial and cardiovascular benefits.

• Dates and bananas are energy-boosting and rich in potassium and fiber.

• This drink may be used in detox regimens or for immune support, but the flavor is bold and not for everyone.
