About the recipe
Bapico is a smoothie with an unmatched creaminess and aroma, it reminds me of summer and I find it perfect to drink on a Monday morning when you go to work and need something to lift your morale. Thanks to the pineapple and banana, this smoothie has an unmatched sweetness, one you’ll never forget. I’ve added grated coconut to perfectly balance the taste and add an extra flavor. This smoothie is best to drink it before lunch, not breakfast.
Should I use canned or fresh pineapple?
As I am a fan of fresh fruits, I strongly recommend the fresh pineapple. It will give a greater taste, having more health benefits and vitamins. The fresh pineapple will give a smaller sweetness flavor and is a better combo for bananas. But if you cannot find fresh pineapple, it’s ok to use canned one, but carefully read the labels and check the sugar levels.
What if I cannot find Coconut?
If you want to make Bapico Smoothie and cannot find grated coconut, a fluid variation is using coconut milk. The smoothie will be more fluid, therefore, do not add water, nor the apple juice. If you’ll use coconut milk instead of grated coconut, change the apple juice with one small fresh apple to add into the blender bowl.
Health Benefits of Bapico Smoothie
Like all my smoothies, this one also has a lot of health benefits. You’ll have a great intake of energy, vitamin B6 regulates blood sugar, vitamin C, manganese, copper, thiamin, folate, potassium, magnesium, riboflavin, iron, it helps you relax, is perfect as a natural antacid, increase the ability to focus and is rich in antioxidants. Besides these benefits, the banana improves digestive health, aid weight loss, supports heart health, contains powerful antioxidants, improves insulin sensitivity, and improve kidney health. And all of these health benefits from only one glass of Bapico smoothie!
Bapico weight-loss diet
The Bapico smoothie helps a lot when it comes to weight loss. In fact, all my recipes for smoothies that have a banana as the main ingredient are specially made for weight-loss. Banana makes you think you’re full, and by drinking this smoothie or other recipes I have posted before the lunch break, you’ll eat less and have more energy than usual meals.
What sports can I do after drinking Bapico Smoothie?
When it comes to sports, smoothies are the best choice for energy. However, the Bapico smoothie cannot help you if you do Yoga or other “standing-still” exercises (pilates for example). This great drink can be used to give you energy at jogging, football, baseball, or any other “running” exercises or sports. It has packed a lot of energy in so small containers.
