Instructions: Put all the ingredients in the blender and mix until the drink is nice and smooth. Pour immediately into a prefrozen thermos.

Variation: St. Patricks Day Surprise!: Schoolyard legend has it that you have to wear green on St. Patricks Day. Why not add something green to your childs lunch? To be fair, you should give him/her some kind of advance warning, if only by putting a shamrock sticker on the top of the thermos.

1 cup Banana Drink A few drops green food color

Just mix the food color until the drink turns a lovely green!

Comments: If your kid prefers chocolate milk to plain milk, offer this drink as an alternative. The banana makes the milk taste sweet and thick without that bad, bad chocolate.
