Pure heaven.  This will give you the energy you need to start your day.

The secret ingredient here is coconut coffee creamer–just a drop adds great flavor.  A real taste of the tropics!

Good pick-me-up or quicky breakfast.  I used frozen mashed bananas, but fresh ones cut up can also be used, however, the partially frozen mashed produces a thick and foamy texture that is oh-so appetizing.

Great Breakfast

PS–lower-fat alternatives may be used with no sacrifice of flavor.

Banana Coconut Smoothie

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup half and half
• 2 tbs Carnation Coconut Creme coffee creamer 
• 1 1/2 whole banana, sliced OR 1/2 cup partially-frozen mashed
• 1 tbs toasted coconut for topping.

Put all ingredients except the toasted coconut in an immersion (stick) blender bowl–the one that comes with it, or a deep narrow container.

Process with immersion blender on high for 1 minute.  Pour into serving glass and top with toasted coconut.

Serves 1
