My comments: I used only 1/2 a banana this time so the banana flavour does not overpower the rest of the fruits. I find it tasted much better than using a full banana.

Very Berry Banana Smoothie

1 Large riped banana, chopped 1 c. Frozen strawberries, chopped 1 c. Low-fat raspberry yogurt 1 c. Milk 2 tbsp Honey Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on slow-medium speed until smooth.

I also tried adding a cup of apples (1 Macintosh apple, peeled and chopped) to the smoothie mix. It tasted good but the apples felt lumpy in the smoothie so the texture wasn't so great.
