Banana Fudge Smoothie
Though this recipe was created for "positively ageless" moms, we think that kids will like this smoothie, too. Greek–style yogurt, available in most major supermarkets, is ultra creamy. And because it has high protein, it's a great afternoon pick–me–up.

1 1/2 cups very cold low-fat milk
3/4 cup non-fat, Greek-style* yogurt
1/2 frozen, very ripe, large banana cut into 1–inch chunks
3 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder
2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ice cubes
*Note: you can also drain plain yogurt in cheesecloth if you prefer it to Greek style yogurt

Parent and Child: Wash hands.

Child: Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.

Parent and Child:Blend until smooth.

Parent: Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings (about 1 1/2 cups each)
