Bananas are the new Coffee- get with it!

I ditched coffee and swapped it out for banana smoothies. What a difference! Fruit for breakfast is the way to go. daniellecharboneau.com or rawalicious.wordpress.com

Just curious why you don't just freeze the bananas?

@lemurianchick I do sometimes, but we eat so many at my house that sometimes I forget to buy so I dont always have enough ripening:)

[TheRawalicious]

When you add ice or just use cold smoothie, it slows down the digestion until it warms up a bit. Actually ice causes gastro deseases, as well as very hot stuff, right?

hey send another one of you my way, for real. we'll greenhouse, blend, juice, wheat grass, scuba dive yeah, and drink out of glass canning jars. i'm tired of doing 45 day water fasts, i'm going to use my strong discipline to do this raw lifestyle, and be like bill marher and only eat 5 burgers a year.

Great video by the way. I want to try the banana date smoothie. Sounds really good but I should watch my portions on that one.

I don't understand about needing coffee to produce a bowl movement.. I have been raw vegan for 1 month and I have to practically run to the toilet straight out of bed. Try chugging some water first thing in the morning... it works!

You look a little tired, does eating bananas make us drowsy? ;)

Yes dates are amazing with that - you can also add a dash of maple syrup and a tall spoon of almond butter for an amazing smoothie. (I don't like soy drink but people use that too.)

Yeah I'm a bit 'coffee reliant' in the way you say, I should get over that (even if eating more bananas makes me fall asleep... zzzzzz... so squinty!) Our habit of drinking coffee for the 'kick to the colon' just causes the digestion to mis-behave.

@TheRawalicious : The reason I asked is that I see this often in smoothie recipes where they put in fruit plus ice. I have found that when you do that, you water down the smoothie or drink and when you just freeze the fruit it's richer. One tip of mine is to go to an ethnic produce market with great prices. They will often have a case of bananas or other fruits and you get amazing deals. You can freeze them at one time and have them available for future shakes! But thanks for responding!
