bananna smoothie

1 medium-size or large, ripe banana. Note: You can substitute frozen banana for the fresh. When your bananas begin to ripen and soften too much, peel, cut in chunks, and freeze in small resealable bags. Use in smoothies, and you won¹t need ice.

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

4 fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon honey

2 or 3 ice cubes if desired

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve right away.

Variation: Almond or rice beverage may be substituted for the milk.

Yield: One 16-ounce or two 8-ounce servings.

Advance preparation: Smoothies should be made and drunk right away. This will thicken and lose flavor if it sits.
