Recipe: Golden banana cream smoothie

Recipe%3A+Golden+banana+cream+smoothie

With summer right around the corner, nothing makes a more refreshing and healthier treat than a smoothie. Mainly consisting of bananas, milk and graham crackers, this smoothie is high in potassium and rich in calcium. They both work to strengthen bones, and potassium also lowers blood pressure and the risk of strokes. Also, try using low-fat graham crackers for 10 less calories and half the fat.
