Steps on How to Make Orange Banana Smoothie

Benefits

• Banana is rich in potassium and helps replace potassium loss in malnourished children.
• The fiber in banana and orange aids in digestion since the orange pulp was blended together with the banana. You cannot get this benefit if you are using orange juice instead of blending with the whole orange pulp.
• Orange is a source of vitamin C which helps with wound healing.
• Milk is a source of calcium if you are using animal milk and not plant-based milk.

You can make this healthy banana smoothie for our kids, toddlers, or the whole family. It can be made for children having malnutrition or having diarrhea because the rich potassium in banana helps to replace the potassium loss in malnutrition or diarrhea.
