CHUNKY MONKEY SMOOTHIE RECIPE

The key to this recipe is the overripe bananas.  They add the sweetness and provide a really creamy texture.  I buy extra bananas each week. One bunch to eat and one to ripen.  Go ahead……..let your bananas get lots of brown spots on them.  You can see from my pictures that I let them get quite brown.  I won’t eat them that brown unless it’s in a recipe because I am a banana snob, but the browner the better for this recipe. Peel the ripe bananas, toss them into a Ziploc bag, and then place in the freezer.  Now, each time you want to make a smoothie you have bananas ready to go.
