Ingredients
- Ragi flour (finger millet): 2 tbsp
- Milk (dairy or plant-based): 1 cup
- Banana: 1 large, sliced
- Yogurt (optional): 2 tbsp
- Honey or maple syrup (optional): 1-2 tsp
- Toppings (as desired): Sliced fruits (banana, berries), chopped nuts, seeds (chia, flax, or pumpkin), and granola
Preparation
In a small pan, mix the ragi flour with 1/4 cup of milk to form a lump-free paste.
Heat the remaining milk in the pan and gradually add the ragi paste, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Allow it to cool.
In a blender, combine the cooled ragi mixture, sliced banana, yogurt, and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the smoothie into a bowl.
Arrange your preferred toppings like sliced fruits, nuts, seeds, or granola on top.
Serve immediately as a wholesome breakfast or snack.
Servings: Makes 1 bowl.
Notes
- For added flavor, blend in a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom powder.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Ragi can be replaced with roasted oats or cooked quinoa for variation.
