I am having difficulty finding smoothie recipes without banana. I am allergic. What would you suggest to use in place of it that would give it that same consistency? I am assuming that it thickens and that is why it is in EVERYTHING. Don’t get me wrong…I love bananas, but they don’t love me.
Thank you for your assistance,
Teresa

Hi Teresa. For this recipe in particular you could just add an extra 1/3 cup of frozen mango 🙂
