Great Banana "Smoothie"

A friend of mine is learning how to eat differently due to newly discovered food allergies. She recommended this treat, her new favorite since ice cream is out.
Ingredient:
1 banana, not too ripe

Wrap peeled banana in wax paper and put in freezer till hardened. Take out, cut into small chunks, and whirl in a food processor or blender (Seems to be best in food processor if you want creamy texture without chunks). Whirl until smooth. Scoop into bowl and enjoy.

That's it! I'm not a huge banana flavor fan, although I do eat bananas. This was borderline for me enjoying the banana flavor but the texture was great. Since it is only a small amount is was good. I'm thinking of what I could add to it to make it better. Maybe mint or chocolate. Raspberries might be good too.
