    On a more relevant note:

    A big ole handful of spinach, a banana, tbsp of peanut butter, a tbsp of baking cocoa and a scoop of protein powder (mine's chocolate). Blend the heck out of that. Add more cocoa or a bit of honey to hide the green colour or sweeten it, respectively.

    Its a dark chocolate Reese smoothie and you can't taste the spinach at all. Also, add ice or chill it before drinking, or use frozen chunks of banana.

    Also add your choice of liquid to thin it out. Milk, yogurt, almind milk, coconut milk, whatevs.

    So many of these sound amazing!

    But I hate bananas. Do those of you who use bananas do so for the flavor or to help the texture / thickness?

    Can anyone recommend alternatives?

    Thanks!

    The banana adds texture and sweetness. You could throw in avocado and some honey instead, or use yogurt.

    When I make a smoothie I put bananas, strawberries, milk or yogut (a little bit), ice.. Yum. I need to buy some fruit. Good thing there is a sale this week at the store.
