Banana-Nutmeg Smoothie


Kelli likes to make these smoothies for an after school snack. It's nice to have a variety of options for an after school snack, and this is on the list. We found it at Marthastewart.com. Just click on the title and it will take you there.

3 bananas, ripe but firm, broken into pieces

1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 cup ice cubes

In a blender, combine bananas, broken into pieces, with milk, and puree until smooth.
Add to the fruit mixture yogurt, ice cubes, and nutmeg, and blend until the ice is finely crushed and the drink is frothy. Serve immediately.

  2. I have not, although I bet it would be good as well. The banana should be sweet enough. If you try, it might be a good idea to add some honey if it's too bitter.

  3. Mom, we have tried it remember? But it wasn't very good because we didnt have any fruit in it. I remember! We tried it last year.

    The smoothie she posted is really good, but we have found out that you don't even need the yogurt at all if you just stick FROZEN bananas with some milk into a blender and add some blueberries or hot chocolate mix into it and it's a lot thicker and alot healthier!
