Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Sometimes you just have to use what you have available. I made it with black cherry Greek yogurt, so skipped the honey and spice, adding a bit of cocoa as another poster suggested. Everything else the same, otherwise. It was tasty - a good base recipe to build on!

Replaced a few items to make this a favorite. Substitute 1% milk for a lower fat option: fat free milk, chocolate soy or almond milk. Increase the 1/2 cup ice to 1 cup crushed ice. Replace the greek yogurt for 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter or omit both of these. Replace the nutmeg with cinnamon. Another version: 1 T honey, medium banana, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1 cup crushed ice, 1/8 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa. That's a lot of replacements! Well, at least it got me to try it. Now I have added a smoothie to my healthy breakfast choices.

I use 0% Fage, add one packet of Truvia and 4 sliced strawberries. It is very good and filling.

It was missing "something" so I added peanut butter. Also, I think it would have tasted better with cinnamon rather than nutmeg.

Not my favorite smoothie. I notice that previous reviewers who rated this highly made major ingredient changes.

I replaced milk with lite chocolate soy milk and eliminated the honey and nutmeg for a chocolate banana smoothie. It still needed something, but was good and filling. I'll make again.

Followed recipe proportions but subbed fat free milk and fat free vanilla yogurt. Rich and smooth, very good before beginning outdoor work.

This is my fav smoothie. With a Tbs of unsweetened cocoa it's a better version of a Banana Vivanno smoothie. I think it tastes best with almond milk and w/o the honey. I make it at least three times a week.
