I love banana splits. We all know how fattening those are! I found a wonderful alternative - this banana split smoothie recipe. It calls for sweetened cocoa powder but I like using chocolate sauce instead. It also calls for non-fat milk and I replace that with 2% milk.

    8 oz. non-fat milk
    12 oz. frozen banana slices
    4 oz. pineapple chunks
    5 strawberries
    1 1/2 to 2 tbsp. sweetened cocoa (to taste)

Pour milk into the Vita-Mix blender first.

Add cocoa and then fruit.

Put cover on and blend until smooth.
