Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 Banana Medium
  • ½ cup Ice Cubes
  • 1 cup Yogurt Low-fat, plain
  • ½ cup Orange Juice
  • 4 Strawberries Frozen
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Optional

Instructions

  • Peel banana. Place in blender.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the blender. If using cinnamon, add now.
  • Cover and blend until smooth.

Notes

  • Use any fresh or frozen fruit, such as peaches, blueberries, raspberries, or mangoes. Use fruits in season when you can.
  • For a creamier smoothie, use nonfat, soy, or 1% milk instead of orange juice.
  • Freeze slices of fruits that are about to go bad. Use these in your smoothies.
  • If smoothie is too thick, add water or ice. If smoothie is too thin, add more fruit.
  • If you don’t have a blender, use a fork to mash the fruit. Whisk in the other ingredients. Serve over ice.
