Great taste, but it's very liquidy. If you want it a little thicker, add some ice cubes.

One of my favorites. I changed it a bit though: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1 banana (not frozen) 2 tablespoons almond butter 2 tablespoons rolled oats 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1000mg cinnamon 1 tablespoon coffee flavored or chocolate protein powder 5 to 6 ice cubs

I wanted to make something super easy and healthy for myself. Of course, you can always modify the ingredients if you want it to be not as sweet. So I used Almond Milk or Oatmilk since I don’t like regular milk. Also, I used only 1 teaspoon of honey and I used a whole ripe banana.

Love it! Substitutions I made were vanilla almond milk and chocolate protein powder.

I use a very small amount of milk, leave out the honey, and add a buch of ice cubes and it makes like a milkshake. It is amazing

The only change I made was with the milk. I didn't have enough fresh milk, so I mixed in powdered milk, a bit of cold water, and ice cubes, to thicken it up a bit more. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. I like my smoothies thick and frosty. So good and no added sugar, which is definitely a plus for me! My kids loved it, too, even my daughter who has a sweet tooth didn't ask to sweeten it any more.

Perfect for post-workout or a quick on-the-go breakfast. I used almond milk as suggested in the Cook's Notes and subbed stevia for the honey. Delicious!

Instead of milk, I used yogurt. Instead of honey, I used syrup and instead of cocoa powder, I used baking chocolate powder. It was OK but it’s very liquidy. Taste is good. I recommend it if you are a sweet person. Which I am not.
