Banana and kefir - products are fairly common, to get them is not difficult. They are in almost every store. But you should avoid small bananas, green or too hard - they are not suitable for a diet, because the body is more difficult to assimilate them. You can grind a banana in a blender, add a couple of other ingredients to it - kiwi, jelly, apple or even rhubarb.Then pour it all with kefir without impurities - you get a nutritious smoothie drink that can be used after a workout.

If you want to try a banana-kefir dessert, then pay attention to one of the most popular recipes. Add maple syrup or honey to the two classic ingredients, as well as sesame crispbread (can be replaced with crispy biscuits). You will need 1 cup of kefir, 4 teaspoons of syrup or honey, one banana and one loaf each. Kefir should be thick. Half of the serving should be laid out on the bottom of the ice-cream bowl, put sliced ​​banana on top. Pour the dessert with syrup or honey, put the finely broken biscuits or bread. Further, as a rule, the remaining pieces of the fruit are stacked around the perimeter of the ice-cream pan, and on top of it all is poured with the remains of kefir. If desired, you can once again use honey or maple syrup with cookies.

The second option is a banana-kefir cocktail with the addition of berries and flakes (the last ingredient is added if desired). To do this, you will need 250 g of kefir, 1 banana, a glass of berries (fresh or frozen) and 2 tablespoons of your favorite flakes. To taste you can add sugar. First of all, pour the flakes with kefir. If you are making a flake-free cocktail, skip this step and proceed to cutting bananas. Thaw the berries and mix them together with a banana and kefir blender into a homogeneous mass.

Taste the dessert, decide whether to add sugar. That's all - now it remains only to pour a portion of a cocktail into a beautiful glass and decorate with a sprig of mint or a slice of banana.

There are no clear restrictions on the use of these two products - you can grind a banana in a blender, chop it finely and add kefir to it, you can drink fruit with it, you can use them separately. The main thing is that the products get into your body. However, before starting such a diet you need to prepare. Since this is a mono-diet, gradually other foods, especially fried, sweet, smoked, salty and spicy, should be excluded from your diet. There are two options for compliance with the diet.

• Strict. Lasts 3 days. In addition to the exclusion of the above dishes and replacing them with kefir and bananas, you should drink plenty of unsweetened tea or water throughout these days. Every day you should eat 3-4 bananas - as a whole or crushed. Every half hour after taking one banana, wash it down with a cup of yogurt. Repeat this pattern every two hours. The last meal should be no later than eight in the evening, on the night of the banana-kefir cocktail is undesirable because of the caloric content of bananas.
• Sparing Looks like fasting days and lasts a week. In this case, the amount of kefir consumed is unlimited, and the portion of bananas increases. If necessary, you can eat a portion of porridge or boiled meat without fat. Allowed to drink any liquid without sugar - unsweetened teas, water, mineral water.

Special mention is the way out of the diet. This should be done carefully, perhaps this process will take longer than the diet itself. Do not add salt for several days, you can use spices. During the week, once a day, eat kefir with bran. In the first days it is recommended to start with high-calorie food without additives, and then introduce low-fat cheeses, other dairy products, nuts. Fat, smoked and fried foods should not be included in your diet for at least another month.
