Pecan Banana Yogurt Delight

Submitted by Fusion Boy

"I've been living in Mexico for a couple of years now, and when it's really hot I make this smoothy with lots of ice and it's simply perfect. Note that much of the flavour comes from the extremely ripe bananas - black is good."

ingredients

• 1 cup yogurt

i followed the recipe and instructions. after blending everything together i took a little taste and i thought it was very bland. maybe instead of using water to mix with the pecans, use ice creame or milk... i ended up adding cocoa for a more chocolaty flavor, a little granola, and come low fat sweetened condensed milk. that did the trick.... thanks for the recipe though. i LOVE pecans and wanted something cold to use them in!
