If you freeze brown bananas and use frozen strawberry, you do get ice cream.
Don't forget to add a bit of vanilla too. Enjoy! Reply

To the smoothie I add a handful of baby spinach. This provides an energy boost as well. The banana covers any taste that some may not like. Reply

Overipe Bananas A banana is overripe when it tastes too mushy to your taste buds ... [try giving a piece to your pet dog] there is a difference in flavour you can definitely taste. if bananas have been refridgerated for some time it should retain it's very light color after you peel it but don't let it sit on the counter after you've taken ot of the fridge. Each person may have different tate bud tolerances. Enjoy that Banana and remember this is one of the fruits that one makes a borei Pri Ha-adama [who creates the fruit of the ground] even though it grows in a tree like fashion. Reply

almond "shakey" drink my two year old calls this smoothy a "shakey drink"

Take almond milk (can make it yourself- pretty easy) or vanilla rice milk.
add a heaping tablespoon of almond butter.

blend till smooth and creamy.

has calcium and tastes like a milkshake. its sweeter if you use the rice dream.

you can add dates if you'd like (and cocoa powder, or blueberries instead) Reply

technical detail when do you put the banana in the fridge? while they are still green? or do you wait for them to ripen to yellow with specks of brown first and then refrigerate for two + weeks?

at what point is the banana is overripe beyond use? Reply

Variation of this recipe You can use Yogurt [Strawberry flavoured] or Plain if using frozen strawberries Add the Banana I remember also my house had Strawberries and bananas with Sour cream [sorry not for dieting people] in the hot summer days... try Blueberries, Raspberries or blackberries [check with your local Rabbi how to get the bugs out before using] Reply
