Not a bad recipe. I substituted the milk and honey with orange juice. Then I left the bananas out. Also, the nutmeg was a tinge too strong so I left that out too. I found I didn't need to blend the mixture. MMMMMM nothing like orange juice! heheh Seriously, what works well with this recipe is an ounce of Kaluah. Can you tell I've already had a glass?

Great for a quick and easy breakfast! I froze my banana and cut the milk back to one cup. I used 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon and added just a pinch of nutmeg. Overall, very good.

Did exactly as the recipe calls for and my kids loved it. Son asked since it was made w/ milk could he have it w/ dinner. (I said yes :0)) Lots of carbs, so it's great to have in the am. It'll keep them from snacking on junk food and it's healthy.

Good taste, just not smoothie consistency. I only used about 1/2 cup soy milk and it was still too liquidy. Maybe I'll add more banana or crushed ice next time. I also used cinnamon instead of nutmeg.

This was pretty good, I've never had much luck with homemade smoothies, and this turned out yummy. It was an awful big serving for one, (and didn't refrigerate well) so I will cut the milk in 1/2 next time. I've got a new breakfast knack! Thanks Anna!!
