Gold Star chili with bananas? How to make the ‘Cincinnati Smoothie’

This Cincinnati Smoothie is "juicy, juicy, juicy!"

Your new favorite local delicacy has finally arrived, Cincinnati. It starts off sweet, much like a normal banana smoothie, then gets a ticket right to Porkopolis with the addition of savory Gold Star chili. And you know what they say – when sweet meets savory, you find true umami! (They don't say that.)

As the first person in the universe to try this concoction, I'd like to let you know that it hits the palette heavy with the banana and then lingers strong with that oh-so-familiar Cincinnati spice.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread? Maybe not. Is it at least worth trying? Maybe not. But is it absolutely offensive? Depends on who you ask.
