Oh! Hey! Hello… How are you, my friends? I hope you had an amazing long weekend. Today, I am sharing a very powerful smoothie.

I wanted to name it “Sexy” green smoothie, but my kids went bananas, telling me I am completely insane for even considering. So, for them, I renamed this smoothie into “Super Green Smoothie”.

The smoothie is still delicious and helps you with all kinds of things that you might not even know -But, doesn’t it look sexy without even trying, huh?

If you read my post you will learn that this smoothie helps you boost your sex drive… Not that you need it, but just in case if you need a little push, I wanted you to know. #WinkWink(I totally did hashtag while talking, ahem! Writing! -That’s like talking in my head)  Anyhoo…

Before I began, I’d like to say: Check with your doctor if it is alright for you to consume this smoothie or any ingredients that might cause you side effects due to taking certain medications or if you have any medical condition.

Please, just omit if you do not feel safe consuming it. I am not using anything bad here, everything is natural, healthy and organic, but some people could be allergic or it may interact with medication, so check before you make any changes in your diet.

For example, I love, love grapefruit, but it causes my medication to almost triple in my blood if I consume it, so I avoid grapefruit.

OK! Now, that the warning is disclosed, the next thing for me is to say that it takes time before you see any progress, such as mood, skin, hair, your energy level, etc., but if you change your lifestyle, you will see body improvement and feel a greater impact when you, for example, drink smoothies like this or similar, every other day.

In a short few weeks, you will look healthier, and feel absolutely amazing if you just include delicious, homemade smoothies into your diet.

HEALTH BENEFITS:

GREEN APPLES:

Apples are amazing for us. Not only that they contain Vitamins like C, A, and K, but they are packed with fiber and they have plenty of minerals that are necessary for our body, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and potassium, etc. In particular, Granny Smith apples can help stabilize your blood sugar levels, which is very important if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. 

Green apples are slightly higher potassium content than other types of apples.  Potassium is an electrolyte that keeps fluid, balanced in and round cells.  This process is critical to everyday electrical flow through your body, a function that makes your heart beat. They also contain both flavonoid and polyphenol — all sorts of antioxidants. Because of this, they can prevent various kinds of cancer.

PEACH:

Did you know that one peach contains 10 different vitamins? I love peaches -their smell, the taste, and just about any dessert made from them. Peaches are considered to be an aphrodisiac fruit and stress-reliever that helps reduce anxiety. They keep your skin healthy, because of the vitamin E, K (essential to your body’s blood clotting capabilities.), C, and vitamin A, which is of course also important for maintaining a healthy vision. 

Peaches are also a source of thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, niacin, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Peaches provide some magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, manganese, iron and calcium as well.  These minerals act to support red blood cell, bone, and nervous system health. Fiber is essential to smooth and healthy digestion, preventing constipation and ensuring digestive health.  Fiber may also play a purpose in regulating your cholesterol levels, helping to reduce your risk of developing heart disease.

BANANA:

The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and B6 content in bananas all support heart health. An increase in potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that a person can make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.

KALE:

Like many dark leafy greens, Kale is a sexual wonder food. The high vitamin A content in kale is essential for normal reproduction and production of sex hormones. So, having the vitamin A that kale offers can help keep you sexually healthy.

The high vitamin C level in kale helps the body to absorb iron, form blood cells and assist the metabolism of the adrenal gland, all of which contributes to better “sexual performance”. Also, chlorophyll, vitamin B6, potassium that kale contains increases sex drive, making this vegetable a sexual powerhouse. One cup of Kale has nearly 3 grams of protein.

GINGER:

Ginger is well known as a natural remedy for centuries reliving motion and morning sickness to helping cancer patients, especially after chemotherapy.
Of course, like many homemade natural remedies, it always takes longer for you to feel better using alternative way, and it will not cure any diseases but certainty will help protect you by making your immune system stronger.

This root has natural anti-inflammatory effects-it is commonly used for cold and flu, menstrual cramps, stomach nausea, and other gastrointestinal disorders. Antioxidants protect the cells from aging-related diseases and toxins that can lead to cancers.
An efficient anti-depressant, Ginger smooths mind and gives a brain calmness and relief.

CHIA SEEDS:

Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, soluble fiber, and even a little bit of protein, these tiny seeds can turn just about any snack or breakfast into a nutritional powerhouse. Chia seeds are high in antioxidants.

Full of calcium, iron, zinc, fiber, and antioxidants, chia seeds will give you the stamina to burn, improve circulation and increase your body’s ability to feel stimulated.  Almost all of the carbs in Chia seeds are fiber. This gives them the ability to absorb about 10 times their weight in water and they are much higher in protein than most plant foods.

Author Sandra | Sandra’s Easy Cooking

Ingredients

• Granny Smith Apple
• 1/2 Peach
• 1 Banana
• 1 1/2 cup Kale
• 1 inch Ginger or 1/2 teaspoon powder ginger.
• 1 tbsp.  Chia Seeds
• 1 cup Water You can use coconut water, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
• 6-7 Ice cubes approximately
• Sweeten to taste

Instructions

1. Wash all the ingredients, peel, and slice. Add into a blender.
2. If you have a larger blender, then add ice with the ingredients. Since mine is not as big, I add after the fruits/veggies are smooth enough, so my ice cubes could fit in.
3. Add any sweetener that you like or have, to taste.
4. You can keep it in the bottle with a lid overnight for the next morning fuss-free, nutritious breakfast.

Recipe Notes

I DO NOT add any supplements in my smoothies, nor do I add sugar. I kinda think why to add when you have so, so much nutrition in the fresh fruits and vegetables.

If I was not confused before, I certainly am now! Allow me to explain, please. Yesterday, I asked on 3 different social media platforms following:

When you are following a food blog, what do you like?

A) Food for Thoughts: stories about our day, events, kids, life, etc. 
B) Not interested in reading, visiting only for the recipe.
C) Content related just to the published recipe.

I received mixed answers. It did not lead me anywhere at all. I am again in square one. If you would like to give me your valuable opinion, I would really appreciate it!

Leave a comment under the post or write a msg. or email (secooking@gmail.com), por favor. Thank you! I will collect all the suggestions and opinions and see how I will continue this blog.

In reality, I know we should keep it short and sweet. Keep readers engaged, not bored, and be informative, and helpful. With that being said, you all must understand that this is the corner where we can express ourselves. Do we have to be all business-like, and shoot straight to the point?

I always thought “food for thoughts” would actually make readers or followers relate more to a blogger. I am probably doing a million things wrong over here, but it is my space.

If you would like to follow my so-called blogging “Journey”, plus get the recipe at the end, you are more than welcome to stick around. I will be your entertainer and throw in the information that you will need. I can be very helpful too, if you just ask, politely!

For me personally, it depends on my mood. I actually like to know a little about the person behind the blog, so If I am the first time there I would go through a few posts and see what is that blogger about.

Then, if I can in any way relate. I am drawn to bloggers who are foodies, mostly family-oriented, of course, one that gives me information and a story that I will bite on, etc. But at the same time, I like rawness in the person, one that has an edge, says what is on their mind, and expresses it well. 

So… Here, I was thinking of sharing my story about how I wanted to slap one mother on the playground, BUT, I will keep it short and sweet!

I am all for violence is never the answer, however, she totally deserved it. Maybe one of these days I will openly write about my views and opinions on motherhood, cause I am highly qualified. 

Today, as you can see I am sharing SMOOTHIE of the day! Do you dig it or not, huh? I absolutely loved it, otherwise, I would not share it, duh!

This smoothie is packed with good stuff. It is vegan, fantastic cleanse, is amazing for your skin, full of vitamins, and so on. Also, it smells absolutely divine as well, plus it has a natural sweetness.

Looking for a quick, nutritious breakfast or a healthy snack packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and probiotics? This Blueberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie is the perfect energizing drink to kickstart your morning or power you through the afternoon slump.

With just a few wholesome ingredients—blueberries, banana, blueberry yogurt, and almond milk—you’ll enjoy a naturally sweet, creamy smoothie that’s both satisfying and beneficial for gut health.

This recipe makes one serving (about 12 oz / 355 ml), ideal for a single portion. Plus, it’s easy to double or triple if you’re making smoothies for the whole family.

Why You’ll Love Blueberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie:

• Rich in Antioxidants from blueberries
• Packed with Potassium from ripe bananas
• Loaded with Probiotics & Prebiotics from Greek yogurt
• Dairy-light & easily adjustable to fit your dietary preferences
• Naturally sweet – no added sugar needed, but you can add a sweetener of your choice if you would like.
• Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

What are Probiotics and Prebiotics?

• Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestion and strengthen the immune system by keeping harmful bacteria in check.
• Prebiotics are indigestible plant fibers (like those found in bananas) that feed and stimulate the growth of good bacteria in the gut.

When combined, they create a synbiotic—a powerhouse combo that enhances gut health. Yogurt is a perfect example of a synbiotic food because it contains both live bacteria and nutrients to support them.

This smoothie can be enjoyed on its own or poured over cereal or homemade granola for an extra boost. While it’s naturally sweet from the banana and yogurt, feel free to adjust it to your taste. For a touch of tartness, add a splash of lemon juice. Want extra protein? Toss in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

Greek Yogurt vs. Regular Yogurt: Which One is Better for Smoothies?

When choosing yogurt for your smoothie, both Greek yogurt and regular yogurt have their benefits—it really depends on your taste preference and nutritional goals.

✅ Greek Yogurt

• Thicker & Creamier: Ideal for a rich, velvety smoothie texture.
• Higher in Protein: Great for staying fuller longer or post-workout fuel.
• Lower in Sugar: Especially in plain, unsweetened varieties.
• Tangier Taste: Adds a nice contrast to the sweetness of fruits.

✅ Regular Yogurt

• Lighter Texture: Blends more smoothly with milk or water-based smoothies.
• Slightly Higher in Calcium: Because it contains more whey.
• Naturally Sweeter: Especially fruit-flavored varieties—perfect for a no-sugar-added smoothie.

Smoothie Tip: If you want a protein-packed smoothie, go for Greek yogurt. If you prefer a lighter consistency and slightly sweeter taste, regular yogurt is a great choice.

As a food blogger and recipe developer, I’ve always believed in balance. While I love indulgent dishes—from rich pork belly to syrupy baklava—I also make it a point to include fresh, nutritious meals daily. This smoothie is one of my favorite ways to start the day right. It’s simple, delicious, and full of goodness.

Make it a habit to include one smoothie a day, especially in the morning. It’s a gentle way to coat your stomach with nutrients and give your body the energy it needs without the heaviness of a full meal.

Blueberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie

This easy blueberry banana yogurt smoothie is packed with probiotics, antioxidants, and natural sweetness—perfect for breakfast or a quick energy boost! Ready in 5 minutes.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 150g fresh or frozen blueberries (about 1 cup)
• 1 medium ripe banana (approx. 120g), cut into chunks
• 170g blueberry greek yogurt (about 6 oz), or plain greek yogurt
• 120ml milk (about 4 oz), any on hand
• 1 scoop of protein powder
• Sweetener as needed

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor.
2. Blend for 45–60 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

• Yogurt Options: Feel free to use any yogurt brand you prefer. Both dairy and non-dairy options like coconut or soy-based yogurt work well. Just make sure it’s a variety you enjoy, as it will influence the flavor of your smoothie.
• Milk Substitutes: While unsweetened almond milk adds a light, creamy texture, you can easily substitute it with water, soy milk, regural milk, etc.
• If using water, consider adding a few ice cubes to keep it chilled and refreshing.
• Frozen Fruit for Convenience: For a thicker and colder smoothie, freeze your blueberries and banana chunks overnight. Not only does this cut down prep time in the morning, but it also gives your smoothie that perfect, frosty texture—ideal for a quick “wake-up” boost.
• Add-Ins for More Nutrition: Boost your smoothie by mixing in a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp hearts for added fiber and omega-3s. A scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach also blends in well without compromising flavor.
• Serving Ideas: This smoothie is incredibly versatile. Pour it over your favorite cereal or granola for a hearty breakfast bowl, or enjoy it straight from the glass for a quick and satisfying snack.
