Comments: This recipe calls for a frozen banana. Peel the banana, wrap in
wax paper, and freeze. You may opt to use a fresh banana instead; the
smoothie will just not be as thick. This is one of the best ways we know
of incorporating more soy into your food plan. The berries and banana add
the flavor you need to enjoy this as a midday snack or as a breakfast
beverage.
