Tips

Choose ripe bananas as they are creamier and sweeter. The main reason you should eat ripe bananas though is that green bananas contain proteins that limit the digestion of complex carbohydrates. You can add a couple of ice cubes before blending to make the smoothie cooler and try different varieties of low fat or fat free milk in your smoothies.
