Sunshine Smoothies with Holistic Health Counselor Lisa Feiner
Recipe for Sunshine Smoothies

6 oz. lemon, orange or vanilla low-fat yogurt or soy yogurt
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender* and process until smoothly pureed. Or place in a container and process with an immersion blender. Serve in tall glasses.
Note: If you like, process for less time which will leave some banana pieces.
