Banana Molasses Smoothie

This recipe calls for blackstrap molasses which can be found in a lot of organic food aisles. The difference between plain and blackstrap molasses is that regular molasses comes from a second boiling of the sap and blackstrap comes from the third. Boiling molasses a third time increases the amount of iron by several percent and enhances the flavor quite a bit. So, enjoy a banana molasses smoothie soon!
