Vanilla is among the most popular and expensive spices in the world. It is used in food, perfumes, and even in pharmaceuticals. In this simple 6-ingredient recipe, we use it as much for its many health benefits as its sweet, rum-like flavor. It also pairs oh so perfectly with delicious, potassium-rich bananas.

With over 200 free-radical-quenching antioxidants, vanilla can help dowse the chronic, persistent inflammation correlated with heart disease and cancer. Some studies even suggest that vanillin, a phenolic compound found in vanilla extract, may be neuroprotective. The very aroma of vanilla can calm the nerves and settle the stomach. And if that's not enough, would you settle for less fat around your stomach?

Salubre's Bee Bread Powder is also a multi-tasking ingredient in this recipe. It contributes to the overall creaminess. And while its neutral flavor neither adds to nor takes anything away from the flavor, its ingredients consist of multiple compounds that fight obesity and obesity-related disease either by preventing the accumulation of fat, increasing metabolism and/or precluding the formulation of fat cells in the first instance. Here's what's up though. The caffeic acid phenyl ester (CAPE) found in propolis, one of just 4 ingredients in Salubre's Bee Bread Powder, has been shown to promote GLP-1 secretion. Yes, I'm referring to the same hormone that weight-loss and/or diabetes drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, are designed to mimic, albeit at a cost of up to $16,000 per year. This simple, yet elegant smoothie cost about $1.50 per serving and taste so much better! Let's get making!
