Cook Like A Dad: Red Banana and Blood Orange Smoothie

From the Editors of Live Right Live Well

Packed with protein, potassium, fiber and vitamin C, this super-fast pink smoothie makes a great breakfast or snack. It contains two unique fruits: red bananas and blood oranges. Red bananas taste like yellow ones but with a slight raspberry flavor. Choose those with a deep purple color; that means they’re ripe. Blood oranges are a dark orange or deep red on the outside and a bright, vivid red on the inside due to the antioxidant anthocyanin. Kefir and Greek yogurt provide satiating protein.

Makes about 3 1/3 cups (2 servings of heaping 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

1 cup vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt

1 cup low-fat strawberry kefir

3 red bananas, peeled

2 blood oranges, peeled and quartered

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until completely smooth.

2. Enjoy immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in a tightly covered container.
