SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was *excellent*. ITA with the comment above about the Vitamix really smoothing it out. I think frozen banana will do the trick. Also, this recipe does not need any sugar; between the banana and the peanut butter it is plenty sweet. Adding plenty of cinnamon really brings a great flavor to the smoothie, too!
Yum! I used hemp milk instead of soymilk, but otherwise kept the recipe the same. My Vitamix made it more like chocolate milk than a shake, so next time I may freeze the banana, add more ice cubes, or cut down on the milk.
