I also need smoothie recipes with no banana. I’ve heard maybe adding apples is good? But I don’t know if it would or not?
I made it without the banana and it was Delicious!
Hi. I also would love to have a protein smoothie recipe that does not include bananas.
Just leave baba out and add more fruit?
Thanks,
SusannahL
That is what I would do! Any maybe add some honey or maple syrup for some sweetness!
That’s exactly what I did. No banana and added a bit of honey to cut the tartness. Delicious. The best protein smoothie recipe I’ve tried so far.
This recipe is so good!!! I love that it’s not too thick that you can’t use a straw. Great flavor. Simple recipe and it has less calories than other similar recipes. Will definitely make this again!
Awesome, I agree with you, check these out and for your diet, my wife loves it! https://bit.ly/2RAb0Zn
