Banana Smoothies

Stephanie Gallagher
Banana smoothies are one of my kids' favorite breakfasts. And this banana smoothie recipe is a particular favorite, because it tastes like a banana milkshake.

Serve these banana smoothies for a refreshing afternoon snack or light dessert, too.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large bananas
  • 1 cup frozen unsweetened pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1-1/2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 cup low-fat banana yogurt
  • cinnamon for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Place bananas, pineapple and ice in a Vita Mix Blender, regular blender or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.

  2. Pour pineapple juice over the fruit and ice. Top with the yogurt.

  3. Cover and puree until smooth.

  4. Garnish with cinnamon.
Makes 3 servings.
