Stepping outside of the box..

I would like to start off by saying I HATE bananas!! I will only eat a banana if its still greenish... But once you see a spot on the peel I'm done with it! I've always been teased about my banana flavor issues. Anything with that flavor is nasty in my mind. Banana flavored candy, popsicles, banana nut bread ect... Won't touch it! So when I decided to start adding them to my smoothies I was really nervous. 

I started with a chocolate based smoothie hoping that the banana flavor wouldn't come through as strong. Didn't taste it! So why not try adding them to my fruity smoothies? 

During my weekly prep I bought a few bananas and chopped them up to be pre packed and frozen. So I packed them into just a few baggies... Baby steps. 

This mornings smoothie bag had them in it! I was scared and even thought about exchanging the baggy for another one. I didn't though. I stuck with my first choice and went with it! 

It's pretty damn good! Haha! Look at me... Picky Pants Meg stepping out trying things I would NEVER try before. 

It's just something about the strong flavor from them I'm not fond of really.

So yes, I will keep adding bananas to my smoothie prep and you should try things you normally wouldn't! What will it hurt? Did I die from the evil banana taste?? Nope! Thought I'd gag at least but it was delish!!! I really  encourage you to try this smoothie! 

Enjoy!!

•Banana Say Whaaaa Smoothie•

• 4 whole strawberries

• 1 handful of spinach

• 2 chunks of pineapple

• Half a banana chopped in slices

• Spoonful of chai seeds

• Strawberry Greek yogurt- 1 large heaping spoonful! (The more the creamer) 

• 1/2 cup of blueberries

• H2O- I used more than a half a bottle since the Greek yogurt made it super thick. 

Blend blend blend!!! I had a little more than I expected and and had to transfer it to the larger attachment- the Magic Bullet Blender attachment that was an extra bonus when I bought mine. :)

CHEERS!!!
