I was in the mood for something tropical but nutritious one day and had one can of Ensure on hand. Having tried ice cream shakes made with chocolate Ensure, I gave it a try. It's yummy and easily modified! Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) can vanilla ensure (i use banana ensure) |
1 cup ice |
1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt |
1/2 cup strawberry (sliced) |
1 banana (sliced) |
1/2 cup coconut (finely shredded works best) |
1/2 cup crushed pineapple |
4 ounces whipped cream (optional) |
2 -4 maraschino cherries (optional) |
1/4 cup walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put the ice in the blender.
2. Add fruit, yogurt, and Ensure.
3. Blend.
4. Top with Whipped Cream, cherries and nuts (optional).
5. Enjoy!
6. **Refreezing the blended mixture for 2-4 hours makes a nice ice cream as well. Top with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, cherries and nuts for a banana split sundae.
7. **Add a shot of espresso to the smoothie for a Starbuck's Vivanno-like treat.
