I should mention that the usual disclaimers of not offering nutritional or financial advice. Everyone should of course should tailor their own diets to what works for them. Kristen, the avocados are excellent, it makes the whole thing much more creamy and gets rid of the ice crystal sensation in the smoothie. I want to try an avocado ice cream recipe.

It helps make the smoothie particularly smooth, and it neutralizes the oxalic acid in the dark greens. I've not tried avocados in my smoothies yet, but I bet it makes them even creamier so that you don't need more bananas. Thanks for participating in Fight Back Fridays today!

Try steaming the spinach to get rid of the anti nutrients and then add it to your smoothies.
