Banana and Kiwi Smoothie

When what we really want for breakfast is cookies, sometimes we double the maple syrup in this recipe. But on more normal days, we like this au naturel, without any sweetening, letting the fruity flavors of the kiwi and bananas shine. If you hate or don't have kiwis on hand, you can substitute 1/2 cup of other fruits, such as berries, peaches, or plums.

Ingredients

1 Banana, peeled and cut into chunks
1 Kiwifruit, peeled and sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup Low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup Ice cubes
2 teaspoons Or even a little more maple syrup, optional

Preparation

Combine all of the banana, kiwi, yogurt, ice, and syrup in a blender and whir together until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
