Posted in response to a recipe request. This is a modified recipe from one I found in Cooking Light. The original called for a couple of tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs & some Cool Whip, and was called Banana Cream Pie...but I prefer it the way I've typed it. It's also a great way to get some more calcium into your diet.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup ripe banana, sliced and frozen (about 1 large)
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 ice cubes (about 1/4 cup)

Directions

1
Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
2
Note: To freeze bananas, slice and place on baking sheet. Freeze for a minimum of one hour. Store extra banana slices in a plastic bag in the freezer for quicker preparation later.
3
Variation: Add about a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the blender after all other ingredients have been well blended, and blend until finely chopped.

I always seem to have an extra banana around that I throw in the freezer because it is going bad. This is a great way to help use up all those bananas. I loved that this smoothie was nice and thick and not too sweet. Strong banana and vanilla flavors. As noted, a great way to get calcium into the diet--fast and easy with all the ingredients things we tend to have around anyway. Thanks Karen for a winner!

Very tasty! It makes a nice, thick smoothie. The ingredients are the type I usually have on hand, too. I will definitely make this again. Thanks Karen67!

I was tempted at first to add another fruit [or chocolate!] to this drink, but decided to stick with the bananas only & am glad I did! At least I know that the banana can stand on its own, so to speak! years ago I used to mash up ripe bananas, then freeze it before eating it topped with hot fudge! Now I have another way to DRINK my bananas! Thanks for the great drink!

Yum! This was very good. I like a thicker smoothie & this fit the bill! I did add 1 tsp of honey to make it sweeter, but next time I may not add it, because it was pretty sweet on its own! Thanks for posting Karen!
