Any thoughts on a banana substitute? ?
Avocado works well in most smoothies
Steamed frozen zucchini works well as a banana substitute. Just don’t overdo it. 4 or 5 discs should be enough to give the smoothie enough bulk without any noticeable veggie flavor.
I usually use frozen strawberries instead cause I’m allergic to bananas.
A pear might work.
Delicious, just used a little maple syrup and vanilla as I don’t like things too sweet.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed this new recipe, Pam! ?
This smoothie is very delicious!
I used this to inspire a smoothie from leftovers… adding a small avacado, coconut milk replacing the almond, added stevia and fake maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice to taste.
Even kids liked it.
That’s such a fun and creative idea, Rosie!
AMAZING!
Added some ground chia and flax, and oh it’s creamy and fluffy. One of my favorite breakfasts now!
This smoothie is delicious!!!! I used vanilla almond milk so I omitted the vanilla and only added 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. I also added some frozen kale, just because. 🙂
Pretty good! I used regular milk, avocado, pecans, peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, omitted the vanilla and added chia and flax seeds. I’ll have to try with some frozen fruit next time, I think it would be even better being colder. I will make this again!
This was so good! I’ve been meaning to try it for awhile and finally did today! I added about a cup of baby spinach and only added a tiny bit of maple syrup. I can already tell this one will be in regular rotation!
Yay! We’re so glad to hear this recipe will become a regular one for you, Amy!
Any substitutions for frozen bananas? Or non frozen anything?? I can seem to remember to freeze things
Hi Kerri! You don’t have to freeze the bananas, but it will change the texture a bit. One idea is to use non-frozen banana and add a couple of ice cubes – let us know if you give it a try ?
This is so delicious (as is)!! Just tried it with less maple syrup and adding spinach, tastes yummy this way too!
Hooray! It’s so yummy, isn’t it! ❤️
Oh my goodness! SO delicious! It feels indulgent almost. This will definitely become my breakfast in a pinch option!
Yes! And so simple to make too! ?
Very good!

I love this recipe and so do all my kids! I added spinach to make it green for St Patrick’s day and it was even better. I leave the protein powder out. As a bonus it doesn’t spike my type 1 diabetic 5 year olds sugars like Greek yogurt smoothies do! I’ll be working on variations. Thank you
Adding spinach is a great idea, Sarah! ?
