This recipe puts together two easily available and economical fruits (bananas and chikoos) along with apples to get a delicious healthful smoothie. We make all our fruit smoothies without milk, as adding two food groups with diverse digestion times is too heavy for our tummy.

Fruits, by themselves, are sweet in nature and do not need any additional sugar. Where you feel the need for added sweetness, just add dates.

This simple to do smoothie is loved by toddlers and kids alike. All you need to ensure is that you buy some fully ripe bananas and chikoos so that they are soft and sweet - Ah! You are all set to serve a NO added-sugar drink!
