This smoothie has a good but mellow flavor and I like it because I don't get any seeds like I would with strawberries or blueberries. The consistency was between a smoothie and a juice. Next time I will freeze the banana slices first and that will make it a lot creamier. YUM!

This creamy, refreshing, orange-banana drink is great for breakfast, after a workout, or as a midday pick-me-up. Use any flavored yogurt you like--strawberry makes the smoothie pink, while blueberry turns it purple.
