I made the Spice Island variation, using almond milk. Made a yummy treat. Thanks! Made for the Variety Event in the Contests/Events forum. -
I made the Kids Choice version minus the chocolate syrup. I added one cup of vanilla almond milk, one banana and two heaping tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. It was very tasty, although next time I will chill it first as it wasn't as cold as I would have liked. Since the quantity of extra ingredients made enough for a second glass, I froze it in two freezeable plastic wear containers. It made a great frozen treat which I enjoyed later last night.

I made the peachy version. I used a lot of peaches and just a few raspberries. If you use a lot of raspberries, I think they will try to take over the flavor. My husband and I liked this bunches. I can't wait to try other variations. Made for the Variety Event in the Contests/Events forum. -
Wow, wish I could give you ten stars. These smoothies are so good, not your usual run of the mill treat. I made two of them, and couldn't decide on a favorite they were both excellent, truly delicious. I made Purple Haze and Flower Power. Planning on trying Go Green next. Thank you so much for sharing.

<p>Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown <br /><br />Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown <br /><br />I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
