Banana and peanut, blended thick and cold. It is the simplest combination on the smoothie list and one of the most satisfying, because peanut gives banana the savoury depth it always needed.
Expect a creamy, milkshake-like texture, sweetness that comes from ripe fruit rather than anything added, and that familiar roasted groundnut flavour running underneath. It is filling enough to hold you until dinner and mild enough for children.
West Africans have paired groundnut with sweet things for generations, from peanuts eaten with banana in hand to groundnut soup on the stove, so this is a very old idea in a very cold glass.
Order it for pickup or delivery in Kigali, or drink it at the table at Jollof Bistro — The Best Nigerian Food in Kigali.
