Banana Smoothie

"Posted in response to a recipe request. This is a modified recipe from one I found in Cooking Light. The original called for a couple of tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs & some Cool Whip, and was called Banana Cream Pie...but I prefer it the way I've typed it. It's also a great way to get some more calcium into your diet."

directions

  • Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
  • Note: To freeze bananas, slice and place on baking sheet. Freeze for a minimum of one hour. Store extra banana slices in a plastic bag in the freezer for quicker preparation later.
  • Variation: Add about a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the blender after all other ingredients have been well blended, and blend until finely chopped.

  1. I loved it. I didn't have any Vanilla,so I put in a couple tablespoons of Vanilla Coffee Creamer which also sweetened it up a tad.
     
  2. This was a good smoothie, and you can really taste the banana unlike some others. I didn't use the ice since my bananas were frozen solid it was frosty enough. I did all 2 Tbs Splenda since my bananas were not overripe. Made for I Recommend Tag.
     
  3. WOW, this smoothie is seriously good! It is so thick, creamy and yummy! I could not get enough of it, it was just like eating ice-cream, only so much healthier! :)<br/>I left out the milk powder as I dont have it on hand and by mistake used about 8 ice-cubes for half the recipe. The result was a very thick and super frosty drink that I gobbled up quickly.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a real keeper with us, Karen!<br/>Made and reviewes on recommendation of Sydney Mike and for the Fruit Event in the Photo Forum July 2011.
     
  4. Yum! This was very good. I like a thicker smoothie & this fit the bill! I did add 1 tsp of honey to make it sweeter, but next time I may not add it, because it was pretty sweet on its own! Thanks for posting Karen!
     
  5. I always seem to have an extra banana around that I throw in the freezer because it is going bad. This is a great way to help use up all those bananas. I loved that this smoothie was nice and thick and not too sweet. Strong banana and vanilla flavors. As noted, a great way to get calcium into the diet--fast and easy with all the ingredients things we tend to have around anyway. Thanks Karen for a winner!
