Banana Split Shakes
Yield: Makes 4 servings
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:
1.
Combine banana, milk, cherries, chocolate syrup and coconut extract in blender. Cover; blend on HIGH speed until smooth.
2.
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.
