Tropical Ensure Smoothie

• 1 (8 ounce) can vanilla ensure (I use banana ensure)
• 1 cup ice
• 1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup strawberry (sliced)
• 1 banana (sliced)
• 1/2 cup coconut (finely shredded works best)
• 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
• 4 ounces whipped cream (optional)
• 2 -4 maraschino cherries (optional)
• 1/4 cup walnuts (optional)

1. Put the ice in the blender.
2. Add fruit, yogurt, and Ensure.
3. Blend.
4. Top with Whipped Cream, cherries and nuts (optional).
5. Enjoy!
6. **Refreezing the blended mixture for 2-4 hours makes a nice "ice cream" as well. Top with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, cherries and nuts for a banana split sundae.
7. **Add a shot of espresso to the smoothie for a Starbuck's Vivanno-like treat.
