Smoothies are fun to make for breakfast and snacks. You can use any fruit you like, but this version is pretty perfect, so check it out! Be sure to use bananas that are mushy and a little brown to give the smoothie a smooth texture.

Berry Bold Banana Smoothie

Kitchen Gear
  • Measuring Cups
  • Blender


Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup low-fat or nonfat yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen strawberries or blueberries
  • 1/2 over-ripe banana
  • 2 ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries
 

Serves: 2

Instructions
Wash your hands with soap and water, then gather all your equipment and ingredients and put them on a counter.
  1. Put the orange juice and yogurt in the blender, then add the fruit and ice cubes.
  2. Put the top on tightly. Turn the blender to a medium setting and blend until the ice is chopped and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Serve right away, or refrigerate up to 4 hours.

Notes
  • NO BLENDER? NO PROBLEM Instead of making a smoothie, use most of the same ingredients and make a berry delicious breakfast banana split: Use a whole (non-mushy) banana and ask your adult to help cut it in half the long way.
