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.

1 cup low-fat strawberry kefir
3 red bananas, peeled
