I felt like eating some banana bread this morning, so I whipped up a Banana Nut Bread Smoothie instead. Lucky for me I had all the ingredients necessary. I had to add some banana extract because I just wasn't getting the 'full banana' flavor with just the sliced banana & besides, I really love the flavor of bananas. You could use Torani Banana Syrup, instead of the banana extract, if you happened to have any of that stuff hanging around the kitchen. Enjoy!
