I second the first commenter: maple syrup is a great sweetener for smoothies. Then if you use the coconut milk (or oil) along with frozen pineapples, it tastes like a pina colada!

With summer coming soon and the variety of fruits available, I need to remember the smoothy option for those “snack” moments. Thanks for the recipe. I must admit, however, that I’m not as healthy as you Carrie, but your blog is definitely inspiring.

Thanks for the reminder! I forget how easy and tasty this combination is!

S makes his power-smoothie every morning to get him through his physically demanding job:
1 c. (soy or almond) milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 Banana, 1 generous spoon of tahini or coconut oil

sometimes he uses a dollop of peanut butter or a scoop of green drink, but the stuff we used to buy is now over $30 a container.

Carrie, do you ever buy organic "green drink"? If so, do you have an affordable source?

I make a smoothie for my children almost every day. This morning we had a chocolate smoothie (still healthy, believe it or not), toast made from homemade bread, spread with raw butter and peanut butter, and an orange. Yummy!

Carrie, on a totally different subject … since we’re in Lent, I’ve been thinking about this …
do you avoid soy products altogether? I try, but …

Hoping that sometime after you’ve covered ALL the other stuff, you’ll tackle Lenten choices in line with your way of eating. Thanks! (I already told you I love your blog, right? I love your blog!)

This does indeed make a killer smoothie! I use maple syrup as a sweetener (not too much is needed).
