I too am in agreement with Sydney that the flavor combination here of date and banana is exceptional. I especially love too the addition of protein powder. Being a vegetarian I"m always on the look-out for recipes that incorporate protein powder. In this case I used french vanilla. I didn't feel the need for any other sweetner like I do in some smoothies that call for plain yogurt. Really Really Good.~ Made for TYM Tag. -
Yummy! Quick and easy. I didn't use the flax simply because I didn't have any. I loved this with no added sweetening for breakfast this morning. :D -
Yes, much enjoyed the date and banana get together! Left out the protein powder. Thanks for a yummy treat! Made for PRMR game.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED the flavor combo of banana, Medjool dates & flax seed here! I did make a small change, though, in that I made it with fat-free vanilla yogurt & then included just a half teaspoon of vanilla extract ~ Still, very tasty, & a nice way to enjoy a smoothie!

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
