RASPBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
2 bananas, peeled and sliced 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice 1 packet vanilla low-fat yogurt (8ounces) 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Place the bananas in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until hard. Combine the bananas, pineapple juice, yogurt and raspberries in the container of an electric blender, process until smooth.
Serve immediately.
