Smoothies - Two easy Low cal desserts with banana

Hello friends,

Aaj Sunday hai!!

Toh kuch meetha khane ka din hai!

The craving to indulge into something sweet has made me try out two desserts. They both are low cal, healthy and fruity.

Smoothies are very refreshing this weather. First I tried a Mango Banana Smoothie made with fresh mango, banana, honey and milk. You can use yogurt instead of milk. You can add more milk, but I like it like a thick shake and very fruity. The second dessert is a protein chia seed shot made with chia seeds, dates, milk, almond powder and banana.
