banana

It took me a while of thinking about it to try a green smoothie, and this was my first attempt. I loved it and now make one for my husband and me at least once a week for breakfast. The recipe calls for a papaya, but I haven't had a lot of success in finding a good one, so I have successfully substituted mango and peach. The reason not to use red or purple berries, I think, is color rather than flavor. I don't know the best season for papayas, but when they start appearing in the market, I'll give them a try.

This high-protein breakfast is light and fluffy when done in a food processor and grainy but still tasty when mashed by hand.

Imagine oat milk thickened with banana and flavored with cinnamon and maple---yum!

Imagine cauliflower and apple marinated in lemon and banana---an unusual and tasty salad!
