I am looking for any and all recipes for smoothies that do not contain bananas. I do not like bananas at all, not even a little bit. It seems that all smoothie recipes that I find contain bananas. I like the idea of having a smoothie for breakfast, but it needs to be yummy for me.

    try substituting any recipe that includes bananas with mango. it'll thicken a smoothie just like a banana would....as long as you like mango that is

    Im allergic to banana's so i have to find many things that don't have it in there!!! add blueberries, strawberries.. My favorite is pineapple, orange, plain yogurt , flax seeds, and a splash of diet cranberry juice... blend and enjoy!!!

    I love it basic, and thin in consistency, so I typically do:

    - skim milk
    - chocoalte protein powder
    - frozen raspberries

    or non-dairy...

    - orange juice
    - brown rice protein powder
    - frozen strawberries

    No need for a recipe - just omit the bananas!

    Here's an example of what i have in a shake for breakfast:

    1 x apple
    1 x apricot
    1 x nectarine
    2 x eggs
    small handful of almonds
    small handful pumpkin seeds
    1/2 milk 1/2 water
    frozen mixed berries

    blender....voila!

    basically, as long as you put frozen berries in, any combination of fruit tastes really nice.

    easy to keep in the zone, 99% paleo!

    Thanks to the guys from Crossfit Victoria for this one!

    Strawberry Orange Smoothie (with or without banana)

    1 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk
    1/3 cup calcium enriched orange juice
    2 cups frozen berries (strawberries are best tasting)
    1 banana (if you choose)

    Makes about 4 servings (or 2 really tall servings)

    You could probably add whey protein in substitue of the banana to thicken it up a little.

    1/2 punnet of strawberries, one starfruit and one apple with just enough water to make drinking consistency.

    I'm all about the mangoes, too. Whether they're fresh (which I think are in season now) or Haagen Daas Fat Free Mango Sorbet (I couldn't find fresh mangoes in the fall), it's great with fresh strawberries and raspberries. I only add ice and water, but I may try to add Fage yogurt. I love experimenting with food!
