Banana Split Shakes
YIELD Makes 4 servings
See Cooking Videos
INGREDIENTS
| 1 | small (6-inch) ripe banana |
| 1/4 | cup skim milk |
| 5 | maraschino cherries, drained |
| 1 | tablespoon light chocolate syrup |
| 1/8 | teaspoon coconut extract |
| 4 | cups low-fat chocolate frozen yogurt |
PREPARATION:
- Combine banana, milk, cherries, chocolate syrup and coconut extract in blender. Cover; blend on HIGH speed until smooth.
- Add yogurt 1 cup at a time. Cover and pulse on HIGH speed after each addition until smooth and thick. Pour into 4 glasses. Garnish with additional maraschino cherries, if desired.
Tip
For a low-fat shake, chop 3 large, peeled bananas. Place in resealable plastic bag and freeze until solid. (This is a great use for over-ripe bananas). Blend with milk, cherries, chocolate syrup and coconut extract. It will not be as thick and frosty, but will be lower in calories and fat.
