Smoothie

Steps

Start by washing the fresh malunggay leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a blender, combine the malunggay leaves, ripe banana, and milk.
If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
For a chilled smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again until crushed.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips for Malunggay Milk Smoothie

Tender, bright-green leaves blend more smoothly than older, fibrous stems; remove any tough stems before blending.
A ripe banana with brown speckles gives the smoothie a naturally sweeter flavor and a thicker texture.
Use a blender jar with enough capacity to circulate the leaves; pause and scrape down any leaves stuck to the sides.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use within 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking as separation is normal.
