Mmm this was good! I used 1/2 cup of lowfat milk and added vanilla. I also used cinnamon instead of nutmeg and loved it =)

try using frozen bananas. Freeze them when VERY RIPE (Lots of brown spots). Peal then cut into pieces first and freeze on a cookie sheet then move to a ziploc bag. That way they are easy to access and blend well in the blender. I make mine with just frozen ripe bananas and milk (and maybe some cardamom once in a while). I use enough bananas so its thick like a milkshake. So healthy, but you'd not even know it!

This was a great quick snack. I made mine extra special with vanilla soy milk. I highly recommend this to everyone. It's so simple and versatile, you can add whatever fruit and spices to it. Enjoy!!!

Quick drink to whip up to accompany the "Breakfast for Dinner". Kids were "eh" about it, but I liked it. I added a little frozen yogurt to make it a little thicker.

I probably make more banana smoothies than anyone you have ever met. I think this recipe tastes a whole lot better with ice. The only other thing I changed was to use soy milk instead of milk. This recipe was worth a try because I usually don't put nutmeg in my smoothies and I thought it tasted great with the banana. I will use this again. Thanks!

It was great, but the fact that I could not taste the honey or sweetness caused me to add lots of sugar and lots of ice too, to make it colder.

Nutmeg makes a great twist...WE make LOTS of smoothies here. For more of a "treat" when making smoothies, we use frozen fruit. Freezing fresh bananas is easy, I just peel them, cut them up and pop them into a freezer bag (flat so they dont freeze together) and take a couple out for smoothies. This would make this smoothie nice and thick. We also use VERY VANILLA silk soy milk, which is healthy, and sweet enough that you need not add any extra sweeteners. My family doenst even like soy milk (besides me) and they'd never even know it was soy in my smoothies. Also.....for added nutrition....adding a tablespoon or two of wheat germ makes for a great texture, and its yummy too!!!!

Great way to use expiring bananas. I also add cinnamon and nutmeg (to taste), as well as a few ice cubes and, when available, fat-free whipped topping to give it a light, fluffy texture. Very good - thanks!

This recipe was pretty good. I love banana, and I was looking for a good, healthy smoothie. This almost met my expectations. It wasn't cold enough and it tasted a little funny because it was a tad warm. A few ice cubes solved this problem. I am also not a very big fan of nutmeg, and so after it was done I added some cinnamon to override the nutmeg. The aftertaste wasn't great. I used maple syrup instead of the honey. Will try again, differently.

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.

Yum! This is simple and here is what it tastes like - eggnog. (In my opinion.) The nutmeg and honey are great. Be warned, it is more or less the consistency of eggnog too...not what some people would call a smoothie (as others noted)...but I loved it. You could add some ice (just a bit), freeze the banana, or add extra banana to thicken it. Give it a go anyhow, you have about 4 ingredients to waste :-p

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.
