Why This Recipe?

This recipe redefines the classic banana and walnut smoothie with a chaga-topped finish, merging banoffee’s sweetness with the earthy depth of a walnut smoothie.

Health Benefits

• Bio-Activated Walnut Butter: Plant Prana’s bio-activation process unlocks the walnuts’ innate vitality, enhancing bioavailability. Rich in Omega-3 (ALA), it supports heart health by maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels. It’s also abundant in Vitamin B6, aiding psychological function and reducing fatigue, and Copper, which boosts energy metabolism and nervous system health. This process ensures every spoonful delivers maximum nourishment.
• Chaga Mushroom Powder: Known as the “king of mushrooms,” chaga is a potent antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. It supports immune function and may enhance endurance, making it a perfect topper for a revitalising walnut smoothie. Its earthy flavor complements the banoffee twist, adding a layer of wellness to each sip.

• 1 tbsp Plant Prana Organic Bio-Activated Walnut Butter (the soul of this walnut smoothie)
• 2 ripe bananas (the heart of a banana walnut smoothie)
• 2 dates (pitted) or 2-3 tsp honey (for banoffee sweetness)
• 150ml (or more) coconut drink, coconut water, or plant milk
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (for a warm, aromatic boost)
