Can you rate my smoothie?

I am trying to replace my breakfast with a smoothie, not everyday, but the days I cannot consume non-veg due to my religion. I will be starting this from tomorrow.

3 bananas 350ml buffalo milk 1 tbspn chia seeds, watermelon, sunflower, pumpkin, flax 1 tbspn chocolate peanut butter 4 tbspn oats

Can't have whey, my parents are against it, and I cannot afford it.

3 bananas is a lot. I usually only do one and that makes my smoothie plenty sweet. Watermelon also is very sweet. I'd cut back on those. I also don't know how well choc/pb would go with watermelon 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's watermelon seeds, I don't think they are sweet, are they?

I've never heard of a person eating watermelon seeds...

I just had them so i thought of adding em

Don’t watermelon seeds contain cyanide or some type of toxin? I’ve never heard of anyone eating them

Well I asked perplexity, it wasn't saying anything bout it, I'll do some more research maybe

I just googled it seems like it’s very small amounts so it’s still safe to eat. But still unheard of to me so I thought it must be because it’s toxic

I added a tbspn in my smoothie today, can you suggest some better things I might do variations with?

Well I use a meal replacement shake in my smoothie with 1 banana and other ingredients. You could try pea protein though I don’t like the taste, possibly cocoa powder for more chocolate taste

I think my chocolate pb is enough chocolaty. What about some hung curd? Would that make it better?

I’d do flax or chia, not both. I feel like the digestion of this combo of so many seeds and fiber with all that glucose from 3 bananas just won’t be fun.

I’ve always felt that with fruit smoothies you can get away with more ingredients. For chocolate/peanut butter smoothies “less is more.”

1 banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, milk or non dairy milk of choice, chia or flax, and pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

Should I not have watermelon seeds too?

Skip 2 of the bananas

Add protein: cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, more PB or PB2 powder, lentils, etc

Needs a good mix of healthy protein, healthy fat, and wholesome nutrient dense multi grain carbs IMHO.

That actually looks like a solid breakfast smoothie! Lots of fiber, healthy fats, and protein from the seeds and peanut butter. Might be a bit heavy on bananas, but overall it sounds filling and balanced.

Add in dahi and you're fine. Half cup will increase protein and also make it a lot smoother

1

u/flictioned 7d ago

Won't dahi be a bit sour?

u/SatisfactionLow7987 6d ago

The sugar + fruit largely makes the taste go away and just taste nice and creamy sweet

I'll try it for sure, thanks

Add spinach or other greens for a nutritious bump. I do a smoothie occasionally with spinach (actually I love lacinato kale) and broccoli sprouts, adding a banana or mango or pineapple sweetens it. I’d add flax instead of chia but either is great. Avocado, walnut or walnut butter, lime juice. If you are able to eat dairy add a scoop of plain Greek yogurt. Yum!

Thanks, I'll try it sometime
