Banana juice

Bananas have long been regular guests on our table. Remember, back in the days of the Soviet Union in winter, exclusively green immature fruits went on sale, which caring hostesses hid in a secluded dark place for complete ripening? True, almost every child knew this secret corner and the exotic fruits at that time hardly survived to the moment when they became yellow.

Fortunately, today on the shelves of shops bananas are presented in a mouth-watering mature form - greens are popular with lovers of healthy eating. In addition to these fruits with a bright yellow peel and delicate sweet flesh, another product based on these fruits is banana juice. It can be purchased not only in its pure form, but also as part of a variety of multi-fruit drinks.

Such a useful exotic treat at home is not so easy to cook, due to the fact that the juicer is unlikely to cope. However, in this case, a blender will come to the rescue, which will easily prepare fresh banana juice for you and your family. Fruits for these purposes need to be chosen soft and ripe. They are peeled, sliced and beaten into a homogeneous mass. If the resulting mass is too thick and viscous, milk or other juicy fruits can be added to bananas.

In addition to exceptional gastronomic qualities, the useful properties of banana juice, which this product does not occupy, are no less valuable. In particular, many people know that a banana contains a large amount of potassium - a mineral that plays an important role in the human body. This is one of the components of intracellular fluid. To make up for the lack of potassium in the body, it is enough to consume only one glass of banana juice every day and then you will forget about what muscle weakness and fatigue are.

For people with normal gastritis and increased acidity, banana juice is also a good drug. However, its use has its own nuances. In particular, with normal acidity, banana juice must be drunk after eating, and with increased acidity - on the contrary, before eating.

In addition to potassium, there is another very useful substance in the composition of fresh banana juice - ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is rightly called a unique vitamin, as it helps in the fight against various colds and infectious diseases, and also helps to prevent early aging of the body. It is not for nothing that bananas are equated with citrus in terms of ascorbic acid content.
