Banana-Cinnamon Breakfast Smoothie

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Here’s a really tasty way to use up over-ripe bananas and have a quick and low-fat breakfast on the go.  Dunno about you, but we always seems to have the last banana or two of a bunch go over-ripe, so instead of tossing them, I’ve been peeling and freezing them, keeping them  in the freezer until needed.

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana , cut into chunks
½ cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 cup soy milk or lowfat milk
Ground Cinnamon

Blend banana, milk, and yogurt until smooth.  Add a healthy pinch of ground cinnamon and blend again to combine.  Pour into glass and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Substitutions:

  • Replace vanilla yogurt with plain yogurt + 4 teaspoons honey
  • Replace half the frozen banana with frozen berries
  • Replace half the banana with frozen mango puree

Enjoy!
