I peel my ripe bananas, wrap in foil, then keep them in the freezer for shakes & smoothies. I would omit the honey when I try this because even a shake with just the frozen banana and milk is plenty sweet for my hubby, who has an excessive sweet tooth!  I’m looking forward to trying it with the added coconut flavor.

Wonderful!! My changes were to use 1 1/2 Tablespoons of stevia and half Tablespoon honey, 4 scoops of Mercola’s Vanilla Protein powder and two Tablespoons of hemp powder. I can’t wait to have hubby try it. It’s soooo good!

Absolutely delicious!! I also drizzled some liquified coconut oil & spinach in it to boost the healthy aspect of the smoothie.

Angelica: Coconut milk should work great!

Can coconut milk be substituted for the milk?  I am lactose intolerant.

Very good. I used almond milk in place of pasteurized milk and frozen pineapple in place of frozen peaches. I also added spinach to get my greens in. 

A perfect breakfast.  =)
