This is one of my favorite smoothies. I've been making this for a couple of years. QUICK TIP: If you want it cold and dont want to use ice, I always cut my banana's up in chunks, place them in a ziplock bag and freeze them. I always have these frozen and on hand b/c I use them in different smoothies. If you use frozen fruit, its always cold and you never have to add ice. P.S. I also add raw honey in this smoothie... DELICIOUS!
Love the tip!! I freeze all sorts of berries because if If I don't they go bad in my fridge. Cranberries are in season and I love them! I buy several bags and freeze them for smoothies because they are only available for a short period of time
Just found a way to use the chunky PB I bought by mistake! Just made my version of it using some vanilla non-fat greek yogurt and water. Very delicious! Thanks!
I am making this for my breakfast in the morning. I make my own quinoa milk and I have a Magic Bullet that works really well. Thank you for your great smoothie and video.
Tip: if you want a thicker/icier smoothie without having to water it down with ice, put the bananas in a plastic bag and freeze them the night before. I always have these on hand because bananas can almost always make it break a smoothie. Always makes them more creamy.
Looks great! I love hte idea to pre make this and leave it in the fridge. Would you leave the milled steel cut oats out of it overnight in the fridge? Edit: clarification
Ok does this help you lose weight and what is all the benefits you get from it vitamins and what all does it do help with the body like blood pressure hi sugar all things like that 😊
best combo ever chocolate peanut butter and banana. im not sure about the cocoa powder since it has caffeine and i cant have caffeine.. is there a better substitute for it for this smoothie? id love to try it.
+bambina320 If you can't have caffeine but want that chocolate flavor I would add carob powder or carob chips. They do not contain caffeine and are commonly used for those sensitive to caffeine. Carob is not as intense as cocoa so the amount needs to be adjusted. Generally if using 1 Oz. Cocoa powder you would have to substitute 2 1/2 Oz. Carob powder. The ratio is 1:2 1/2 Carob rocks as a natural substitute to chocolate.
+bambina320 Hi there. Just read your comment. This is Brian (I help Dan make the videos here). I used to make this for breakfast until my acide reflux reacted to the chocolate. I have since tried some alternatives to replace the chocolate. I find that strawberries or raspberries work well with this especially when nice and cold. I did try vanilla carnation instant breakfast for awhile but it was a little strange. But def go with the berries! Hope this helps. -Brian
great video. do you just use raw cocoa powder or is it a sweetened variety? I tried making hot chocolate with some special cocoa powder from whole foods and it tasted like bitter death.
+Orges Boshnjaku I'm not a nutritionist but I would think having some before would give you added energy and having some after would help supply your muscles with protein and additional sugar to help the healing process.
Try a Tbsp. to start. I don't like the taste of it personally and add it only for the benefits it offers. You can add as much as you like according to your taste.
Milled oat meal would be an amazing addition and help keep you fuller. Be sure to use steel cut oats as they are whole and have maximum nutritional value.
Thanks. Looking forward for more of your healthy and delicious recipes. I really wanted to make smoothies because I don't want to eat fruits directly but I know our bodies needs fruits, so with smoothies, I can still eat/drink fruits. :)
