Going Banana's - Banana Smoothie Recipes Quick, Healthy and Super Yummy

Banana Smoothies have somehow become a staple in my house. I'm in love with these delicious little concoctions, they take no more than 5 minutes to make and good for the kiddo's (and Mom). Smoothies are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. They also make it easy to sneak in a bunch of healthy stuff like protein powders. You can experiment with milks, try soy milk or almond milk. They make a great breakfast or snack, especially for those mom's running around town picking up and dropping off.

TIP: Don't throw out your dark bananas, instead peel them and place in a plastic bowl with lid in the freezer. Frozen banana's are awesome for smoothies.

So here are the smoothie recipes:
