    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

    It was good, but I only had strawberries and raspberries. I think it would have been even better with blackberries too. It was a nice after dinner treat on a hot day. - 8/14/08

    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

    Delicious! It's very important for me to remember this makes FOUR SERVINGS because in this heat I could drink the whole shibang! So be sure not to drink the whole thing or you will have to multiply the calories by 4. ;) - 7/25/11

    I can't drink orange juice, so used pineapple. I added silken tofu (1/2 cup), 1 banana, vanilla essence (1tsp) and one sachet of splenda. Tofu also thickens. Great smoothie! I used mixed frozen berries. - 7/24/11

    this smoothie is great to make. If I don't have orange juice, I use v8 splash and I add a little protein powder as well. No need for sugar, the bananas add their own sweetness. once you put in the bananas, and the different types of berries, you are good to go!! - 7/16/08
