This smoothie may not look like a Banana Split but it has most of what would go into it and what it does not have it makes up for in flavor! After almost 3 years of living with MS, I had my first relapse this past weekend and needed foods which would cover the metallic taste left in my mouth from the steroid treatments. I also needed foods high in certain vitamins and nutrients. Not to mention that I needed plenty of fluids and my daily amount of fiber. This is what I came up with, I think you will see a smoothie that is loaded with flavor and packed with the nutrients and vitamins needed for a healthy liquid refreshing meal!!!
Servings: 1
