This is best for very hot weather of course, but sometimes even in the winter I make it. Then cuddle up under my quilt and listen to music and read a good book. It is so good that when DS was in the Scouts, he asked me to make it for his friends, and to be sure NOT to tell them it was for weight watchers.

1 blender half full of ice cubes
Cover cubes with milk
Add one real ripe banana
Add whatever flavoring you like, vanilla, chocolate syrup, Carob, Stevia or whatever sweetening you like. Chocolate chips, dried cherries, Red-hots, etc. (Okay, not WW but tastes good)

Blend well, this will swell up, and a whole blender full will make 2 very large servings, 3 smaller ones. Better get larger straws for this "shake". The bananas really make it thick and delicious.

Got this many years ago and have made it with lots of ingredients. Some I've added with some success were pineapple chunks, peaches, chocolate and candy canes together, and even some instant pudding when I didn't have any bananas in the house. (Boy Scouts will eat anything!!)

Oh and ladies, I discovered if you freeze the banna, you will get a thicker smoothie, also the other fruits too. and did you know you could freeze your remainder for another time? sooo, good!

if anyone likes roasted veggies, ad spices when you roast them, really is good which I have learned last year. fresh asparagus is awesome to roast them! and slice potatoes as you like and delicious, same for yams.

I will put more here, but hey c'mon y'all give! lets do this!
