LIFE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

Flipping through two of my 93 year-old mother's recipes-to-try file boxes, I pulled out an index card with just three ingredients… milk, banana, and honey (or molasses). What a treat! This smoothie holds its own up against any favorite milkshake you've ever had!  

Banana smoothie

Here's my mom's handwritten recipe.

Banana smoothie recipe 
I used Farmers' Creamery non-homgenized, low-temperature pasteurized 2% milk from grass-fed cows not treated with hormones. I used a frozen vs fresh banana because it provides thickness and an ice cream flavor. Note: For another treat, if you have a juicer (e.g., a Champion juicer) with a "blank" insert, you can enjoy soft-serve ice cream by sending a frozen banana through the hopper. That's it… just a banana. It's so very good!
