Chef's note: If you are planning on making these smoothies often, I suggest you, peel 4 or 5 banana's and place them in a plastic freezer bag, to always have on hand. Therefore there is no waste, because the banana gets too ripe.

I also suggest you crush the ice cubes before putting them in the blender.

Both of these smoothies are delicious, and nutritious- great if you are on a diet, to replace one of your meals.

Enjoy, Chef Ed
