    Don't give up the fiber, potassium, and thickening power of the bananas...freeze them beforehand for extra thickness. Added flax seed is good, as is a scoop of rice or soy protein powder-or add a handful of ground almonds for additional protein. This is a good basic recipe! - 7/12/08

    I Loveee this drink, but I put peaches and cherries in mine at different times and it is very good. It's a good breakfast drink. I took it to school where I teached and let 2 other teachers try it and they love it also. So we bought a blender and we make them every morning. Thank you for sharing. - 1/10/09

    How can I rate this when I can't even see how much sugar is in the recipe,so I can make a decision to make it or not??? How can it show no sugar in the recipe. Low fat yoghurt, we all know (or should know) has more sugar in it, than plain Y plus there's all the sugar in the fruit. NO WAY!! - 8/3/11
