Banana & Maple Crunch Smoothie

Serve this creamy smoothie over ice. It is best to serve as soon as it is ready because it will not keep well. Finishing it off in one sitting should not be too difficult...DELICIOUS!!

Makes 2 servings

.

2 large Bananas

1/2 cup Pecans plus extra to garnish

2/3 cup Whole Milk

4 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup

Put the bananas in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. (I have a regular smoothie maker instead of a blender) Add the nuts and blend again until thoroughly combined.

the nuts must be finely ground so stop and scrape down the side of the bowl one or twice, if necessary.

Add the maple syrup. then pour the milk over the banana paste and blend again until creamy.

Half fill two large glasses with crushed ice and pour the smoothie over the top. Serve sprinkled with extra pecans if you prefer.
