Banana Smoothie

17 Comments


My daughter likes watching and listening to Nat and Alex Wolf of The Naked Brothers Band. This band became popular through the tweens channel, Nickelodeon. I have asked and have researched why the band is named such, that story will come in other posts.

One of the brothers' favorite is banana smoothie. Seeing the banana in our kitchen, my daughter had this brilliant idea of making us some banana smoothie last Saturday just after lunch.

Get the chopping board. Take a picture of the banana for posterity.

Slice them using the spatula.

Put them in the blender with one teaspoon of vanilla, 4-oz milk and some ice. Blend for a minute.

Voila...banana smoothie in seven minutes or thereabouts. I have to make a quick check if we are doing the right thing. Just to be sure since this Mommy is not an expert on anything about the kitchen (but tries really hard).

Successful with the banana smoothie according to my dear daughter. :)

i love banana shakes! i think smoothies are the ones without milk and the shakes are those with milk or the other way around? i don't know. hehehe
whether smoothie or shake it's to die for.

The banana smoothie looks great but not as great as your daughter. Love the shot of her.

Cut up the bananas, put it in a blender and shake it all up, shake it all up (2x) That was the chorus of the Naked Brothers Band, Banana Smoothie. I was singing the song while I was making it! hehe!

What a nice coincidence. Jules made banana smoothie earlier today. :)
