Every major city has 'em - those uber cool smoothie shops. I haven't purchased a smoothie in quite some time. As a reminder, here is a past post I wrote on smoothie how-tos. As I sip yet another one of my concoctions, I wanted to remind you of a stealthy ingredient you can use instead of ice: bananas.

I buy a heap load of bananas. I consumer some during the week, but I also freeze them. Instead of using ice for my smoothies, I use bananas!

Simple tip I know, but oh so good!
