    Or...you could freeze a cut up banana and eliminate the ice.

    For those commenting on the calories it says "per serving" The recipe makes two servings so you divide the 360 by 2 to get 180 calories.

    If you want to sweeten it....add 2 packets of Stevia and a teaspoon of vanilla extract...

    to 180 calories- If you look, the recipe says it makes 2 servings. 110 per banana, 140 for yogurt and you have 360 total. Divide that by two and you have 180 calories per serving.

    180 Calories??
     
    I don't mean to nag, but I don't get how the calorie count is only 180 calories when 1 Chiquita Banana is already 110 calories, as per the calorie count on this website. So with that in mind, the calories should be more like 300 - 350 calories (depending on whether you use skim milk, whole milk, or yoghurt). However, the recipes on this website look great and I'm definitely giving them a try. I just wished they'd be more truthful about the calorie count.

    I was looking for a banana smoothie and I found this amoungst other recipes and people told me to use this. :) I use Skim Milk instead of Vanilla Yogurt and it was great.

    Skip the ice, peel and freeze the bananas. Comes out like a frosty milkshake. Add a little cinnamon for flavor boost.

    Due to my gallbladder, once the spots start appearing on the peel is when I have to stop eating those bananas and either find someone who can eat them, or will use them in baked goods. Its why I won't eat banana bread, though I used to love it as a kid because people tend to use those overripe bananas for the bread. If you have ever had a gallbladder attack or spasm, you know why I have to leave t

    well, i tried the recipe and i thought it was okay but i think i've tasted better. then again this smoothie is my second favorite. if i were to rate this smoothie then i would give it a 4 out of 5. if i were to do this recipe again i would put cinamin in it. when i had my grandmas she put cinamin in it and it rocked the house try putting that in the smoothie recipe.

    lovin' the smoothies
     
    It would be nice if they included calorie counts and nutrient info for their recipes. I've been making these for years and I use different flavored yogurts, or mix other frozen fruits (cherries are my favorite)and add vanilla and other flavorings.

    To enhance this even more, try adding 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter and a good squirt of some hersheys dark chocolate syrup. Adds a great deal of protein, and a velvety chocolate finish. Nothing better than Banana and Peanut Butter.
