1 banana
1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 handful of spinach or kale (optional)
2 cups milk
Directions:
1. Wash fresh produce.
2. Collect and measure all ingredients before starting to prepare the recipe.
3. Add the fruit, yogurt, and kale or spinach (if using) to the blender.
4. Pour the milk into the blender.
5. Blend for about 30 to 45 seconds until smooth.

* These can also be made ahead of time and frozen. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast.
Be creative! Add any fresh or frozen fruit to the smoothie. If using only fresh fruit, you will need to add a few ice cubes before blending. Be sure to wash fresh fruit before using.
