Awesome - I modified the recipe - to just the zucchini, banana, a splash of soy milk and a scoop of chocolate protein powder. Yummy! Definitely peel your zucchini for this recipe! And use it still partly frozen.

This was great! I didn't have peanuts so omitted them, and only used 3 tablespoons of sugar. I also added some milk to make it a bit easier to pour. My family really liked it and found it rather creative - thanks!

Excellent! I love the idea of adding zucchini to this smoothie. I made some changes for a healthier version: I omitted the sugar, used protein powder chocolate flavor instead of cocoa, soy milk instead of hanf an half and peanut butter. I will definitely make it again. Thanks!

I found this a tad on the sweet side, but I love the zucchini chocolate banana combo. Next time I'll just add a little less sugar. I confess, I used a blob of peanut butter in stead of nuts! I had high hopes for this as a way to get veggies past my son's lips... he didn't like it. But now that I think about it, I think it was because its really cold... he's not much of an ice cream boy. Thank you! I'm looking forward to making it for the hubby, I know he'll love it.

This is fabulous! I used fat-free half and half and natural peanut butter instead of the peanuts, and probably reduced the sugar by about half, but I didn't quite measure it out. It was perfectly sweet, so I'll do that again next time, too. I don't like ice in my smoothies, and like other frozen fruits, the frozen zucchini was "softer" than ice, but still lent that icy, slushy feel to this drink. Plus, ice doesn't have the nutrients and fiber that zucchini does, so this worked perfectly! Great job, 5thsister! :)

My son, who is very picky about food, asked for seconds! I was thrilled that he was getting some zucchini and the added benefits from the banana + peanut butter (instead of nuts) + milk made me feel good that he was getting something good to drink. Only change I will make next time is not to add all the sugar or sub some honey in it's place. My sister made this for her boys after I told her of this zuchinni smoothie recipe and, voila! they drank it down too! Thanks for the recipe, glad I didn't knock it before I tried it!

Mmmmm. I am enjoying this right now. I used unsweetened chocolate almond milk and chocolate sugar free torani instead of the half and half, sugar and cocoa. Really good. I didn't measure the zucchini, but I think I used more than the recipe called for. I'm going to recommend this to people at the gym

I made this for my boys back when 5thsister posted it on "the exchange". They loved it, had no idea there was any zucchini in it at all. I used Peanut Butter and Co's Bees Knees peanut butter and FF half-n-half. I'll make this again often.

I'm 5thsister's daughter, and both my younger brother and I love this recipe! We were a bit hesitant to try it at first (but in this house, you have to at least try), but quickly finished it and made her promise to make it again.
