How to Make a Prune Smoothie Step by Step?
Step 1: Soak the Prunes
Take 5-6 Jewel Farmer prunes and soak them in warm water
Let them sit for around 10 or 15 minutes or until you find the prunes are easy to mix with the other ingredients after becoming soft.
The water could also be removed prior to its usage.
Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
Peel the ripe banana and cut it into slices.
In the milk, mix in the measured yogurt. If a cold smoothie is desired, use the ingredients cold.
Step 3: Add Everything to a Blender
Add softened prunes, banana, yogurt and milk to the blender.
Finally, add all the spices, the vanilla essence and the chia seeds.
Jewel Farmer Prunes work exceptionally well with creamy components like milk and yogurt.
Step 4: Blend Until Smooth
Mix it all well until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.
If you like, add a tiny bit more milk if you feel it is too thick and blend once more.
Step 5: Add Ice
Add some ice cubes and blend for a little.
Frozen banana works really well to give a thick smoothie naturally, without adding too much ice.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust
Sample the smoothie and then it is ready to serve.
