Preparation time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:

- 2 large bananas, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 can of guava in juice (approximately 250 g)
- 500 ml Greek yogurt
- 200 ml almond milk
- 250 grams of fruit muesli, no added sugar
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Nutritional information:
This smoothie is rich in fiber due to the bananas and muesli, while the Greek yogurt provides quality protein. Almond milk adds creaminess and a subtle flavor, and guava adds an exotic touch and is full of vitamin C. In total, one serving of smoothie has about 300-350 calories, depending on the brand of ingredients used.

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the bananas and cutting them into large pieces. Make sure the guava is well-drained from the can so that the smoothie doesn't become too watery.

2. Blending: In a powerful blender, add the cut bananas, guava, Greek yogurt, and almond milk. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until you achieve a creamy consistency similar to a puree. If you want a thinner smoothie, you can add a little more almond milk.

3. Assembling: Divide the muesli into two cups or bowls, then carefully pour the smoothie puree over the muesli. This step is important because the muesli will absorb some of the liquid, providing an interesting texture.

4. Garnishing: Add a few fresh mint leaves on top for a pleasant appearance and fresh aroma. Mint not only looks good but also adds a refreshing taste.

5. Serving: The smoothie is best served immediately to enjoy all its nutritional properties and creamy texture. It is perfect for breakfast or as a quick snack between meals.

Helpful tips:

- About ingredients: Choose ripe bananas, as they are sweeter and more flavorful. Guava adds an exotic note, but if you can't find it, you can use peaches or mango as an alternative.
- For an extra nutrient boost: You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an additional supply of omega-3 and fiber.
- Vegan option: Use soy or cashew yogurt and ensure the muesli has no animal-derived ingredients.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I substitute muesli with other cereals? Yes, you can use oats or granola, but make sure they contain no added sugar to keep the recipe healthy.
- How can I make the smoothie sweeter? Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, but first, try to enjoy the natural sweetness of the fruits.
- How long is the smoothie good after preparation? It is best consumed immediately, but if leftovers remain, you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before consuming.

Serving and combinations:
This banana, guava, and muesli smoothie pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or green tea, bringing a balance between the energy of the fruits and the stimulating effect of caffeine. If you want to add more flavor, serve it with some whole-grain cookies or a slice of toast with peanut butter.
