Super Smoothie

I learned a few months ago when the girls were stricken with a stomach virus the importance of yogurt to help maintain proper bacteria levels in the stomach. This is a smoothie with a yogurt base, loaded with other "super foods". Healthy or sick, my girls can't get enough!

1 banana, frozen
1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. honey
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

1. Cut the frozen banana into 3 or 4 chunks & peel (I like to set it out for a few minutes; its easier if it has thawed a bit).
2. Place banana pieces, yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon & honey into blender.
3. Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until smooth.
4. Pour into glass and dust with ground nutmeg.
