Banana Berry Fizz Recipes

HOMEMADE BANANA-BERRY SMOOTHIE

You can make this smoothie year-'round because it contains frozen fruit. The ripeness of the banana is important here: if the banana is more starchy than sweet, your smoothie will taste dull. Blueberries and strawberries are packed with anthocyanadins, the antioxidant compounds that give them their blue and red colors, and they're a very good source of vitamin C, manganese and fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Bananas are also a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as potassium, fiber and vitamin B6. Add the protein and calcium in the milk, and you've got a meal.

FROZEN BANANA DAIQUIRI

Here's something to do with those rapidly ripening bananas on the kitchen counter. Simple syrup can be made ahead of time and kept in your fridge, and the basic ratio is one part sugar to one part water (you can do two parts sugar for a richer syrup). Bring water to a boil, add the sugar, and cook until completely dissolved. It's an easy base for a world of cocktails. (The New York Times)
