Blend to your hearts content …or until smooth like a creamy frosty shake 🙂
A tip from Pearl & Serene …
“A word about bananas. God made them and they are a wonderful food. We buy them for our children, who are growing and still very insulin sensitive since they have young cells and run around all day. We very rarely eat bananas ourselves, as they are more like potatoes, and can easily fatten an adult. If you don’t want to say a complete goodbye to the them, stick to half a banana as a limit while eating E style.”-Page. 83 (The Energizing Meal)
The rule of thumb is having a bit of protein along with the banana!
Thank you to Sarah over at The Well Dressed Wolf for sharing her favorite shake with us!

This was delicious. I was nervous that it would be too thick when looking at it all in the blender but it turned out nice and creamy. Wish the banana flavor was a bit stronger. I’ll have to look for some banana extract. Thank you for posting!!
Glad you enjoyed it Tara! 🙂
I found this recipe while trying to see if bananas were “on plan.” I’ve seen oatmeal-y shakes before and have always passed them over, but it sounded good today… And I’m SO GLAD I tried it! This is so yummy! I was on autopilot and added chocolate as I do with any other shake I make, but I may even try it without next time! Thanks for the recipe!
So glad you liked it Sara!!

Could you substitute plain greek non fat yogurt for the cottage cheese?
Yep!
