Low Fat Coffee Banana Smoothie

Use up your old coffee a fun way! I always save my leftover coffee and freeze them into ice cubes. Usually, I cool off my fresh cup of coffee with them (without diluting the taste) - but you can use them to make iced coffee. I was out of my usual frozen strawberries one morning so I thought I'd give them a whirl in the blender. I currently use a hazelnut flavored blend. Also, don't let the "low fat" throw you - this tastes wonderful... Use the ripest bananas (black is fine for this) possible, as they are the sweetest. If they're too ripe to eat, peel them and put them in baggies in the freezer to save for your smoothies or for baking. No one will know! I hope you like this.
