Banana Chia Smoothie



Although bananas contain fructose they also contain an equal amount of glucose which means that moderate amounts of banana can be absorbed without symptoms as the glucose acts as a carrier of the fructose through the body. Ripe bananas are more readily absorbed.

1 large ripe banana 
1 tblsp Rice Malt Syrup 
2 tblsp Chia seeds*
1 tblsp Oat Bran
2 cups of Soy Milk (any type of milk is fine if you are ok with lactose)
Handful of ice cubes

Blend all ingredients together in the blender.
Serve and enjoy!
