Orange Banana Milk or "Moo Juice"

This milk is packed with nutrition! It is a great way to sneak fruit into a picky toddler's diet or to disguise milk.

1/3 cup (3 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate
l/2 medium banana
1 2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon wheat germ (optional)

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until foamy.
  2. Serve immediately - this does not store, because the bananas turn brown.

Yield: about 3 cups

cook's tip: This is a good way to use bananas that are getting a little too ripe. You can also peel bananas and store them in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer until you are ready to use them. If your child doesn't like a very cold drink let the banana thaw out before using it. The thawed banana will be very soft.
