Here's a great snack that requires a little bit of planning ahead, but after you've done the prep, it's a cinch to make.

To make this Banana Ice Smoothie:

• Peel several very ripe bananas
• Break them into 1-inch pieces
• Freeze the pieces in a sealed plastic bag
• Just before serving, put a few pieces in the blender with a small amount of water, juice or milk
• Serve immediately

You can add berries for a different flavor or top with fruit or nuts. YUM.

Why we love it:
Bananas are high in potassium. And this is a fun way to use up ripe bananas, without making yet another loaf of banana bread. Plus, how often do you get to use that blender you got from your wedding?
