Tickle Me Pink Valentine's Day Smoothie. Make this 3-ingredient smoothie for a heart-healthy Valentine's Day snack or breakfast. #noaddedsugar #healthysnacks

Healthy meets my Sweet Tooth: Chocolate Banana Smoothies

Big P said about these smoothies, “I think they should be called ‘smoothies-like-ice cream’ smoothies.”

Using frozen bananas is the key to keeping the flavor naturally rich without adding any additional sweeteners. I buy up all of the old bananas that my produce manager is trying to get rid of at .29/lb. I peel them and toss them in a gallon-size freezer bag. The bags stack nicely in the freezer and I can use them for any other baking adventure, like banana pancakes.
