This sounds tasty. You can also use rice dream, soy or almond milk if dairy allergy. I watch for friut sales ie: a case of fresh mangoes on sale and then buy, peel, cut in chunks, freeze on parchment paper/cookie sheet, then when frozen solid ,bag in ziplock bags, date & I have smoothie fixin's anytime. We put all types of things in my vitamix. Sometimes I even use fruit juice as the base,(sweeter) then add blend of frozen fruit as desired. You can also add protein Whey powder for extra health benefit. or my favorite is (appx 1-2 TBS.)flax seed, blend well. This adds fiber, anti-oxidents but there is a bit of texture..ie:not silky smooth. Very filling & delicious. If I say the word,"smoothie?" in my house, kids come to the kitchen immediately!

I like this recipe, my recipe is a little more complex. I use almond milk, handful of raw pecans, throw in a banana frozen. apple, flax oil, lecithin, get right smoothie, I normally use what ever frozen fruit i have on hand, flax seed and this is my ice cream dessert at bedtime, this is as feeling to me as a full meal (lol)

For those not wanting a low fat version, to the 1-2 frozen bananas add 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 Tablespoons cacao powder, pinch of salt, 7 ice cubes, 1 Tablespoon real maple, and I use 3/4 cup almond milk. It can be addicting!
