Recipe of perfect banana smoothie

banana milkshakes seem like a sweet, indulgent treat, but when made with healthy ingredients, they provide essential nutrients. Use skim milk and frozen bananas to make an icy cold, thick milkshake in your blender without a lot of fat and calories. Add plain yogurt or fat-free frozen yogurt for extra thickness. Including other frozen fruits, such as strawberries or mango, adds more nutrients and enhances the flavor.
