like BlissfulBaker I loved raw eggs , but when they are not allowed, pasteurized are the next best thing, and safe for young children and oldish codgers .

I'm in the Smoothie for Breakfast Camp, and with braces far behind me, don't have that as the excuse. Instead, I just think it's an easy way to pack a lot of nutrition into one delicious shake. My liquid base is homemade goat milk kefir. I add whatever fruit's in season or in the freezer. Yes to flax seed for the omegas. I do the opposite of jamcook & add a raw egg yolk for the protein (so much easier to digest than whites, and you can't taste it at all). Top that off with a spoonful of unrefined coconut oil (yay for the growing awareness that fats are good for us!) and add just a little bit of juice for added sweetness. Seriously, I never get sick of these. However, I just googled Chef Gwen per your recommendation and I'm inspired. I love the idea of adding spices - curried smoothies? Who knew?

I drank a lot of smoothies for several months after stomach surgery..my favorite ; Frozen mango chunks ,peaches and strawberries, big glob (maybe 1/3 cup regular vanilla yogurt,(YES!) about a cup of orange/mango/peach juice or strawberry/ apple juice, and for added protein some pasteurized egg whites, .(a third of a cup of these gives you the protein of two eggs...without any taste or nasty gritty texture) adjust proportions to taste.

I had braces for years and would have loved to get down on this smoothie!

Will someone post the link to the Paul Ryan article please? I have looked for it and I haven't been able to find it. Thanks!

I peel, then cut my ripe bananas into chunks before I freeze them. When I'm ready to use them, I take out as many chunks as I need to make a banana. This works great for smoothies, muffins and breads. This recipe has given me a good way to begin using almond milk. Thanks.

Jenny, thank you so much for the smoothie love. I feel for your braced child. I wore them twice, once as a 5th & 6th grader (too young, clearly) and once as an adult (not good for dating). And you've inspired me to try almond milk... like the idea of a roasted undertone.

Ha! But tell her the story did have a happy ending. J was able to look past the brace face ;)

Couldn't agree more about Greek yogurt...read the other day that sales are expected to grow by 120% in next 5 years and that you'll see it everywhere, in smoothies, frozen yogurt, etc. Poor regular yogurt!

Love seeing you in the Times and screaming out to my husband, "That's my food52 friend, Jennie!" ps Nice smoothie, but why didn't you enter the haiku contest too?

I think you and Jenny went to the same college, btw. Or did you two already know this?

Yes, awesome Ryan article, Jenny.
We had smoothies for lunch today, thanks to you. I just used what we had on hand; milk, yogurt, really ripe bananas, smooth peanut butter, cardamom, ice for sconegirl. milk, berries, yogurt, agave, ice for sconeboy. both yum. I used fresh fruit, but I'm convinced frozen fruit gives you a much more thick milk shake-y result. For the banana one, I'd totally think about turning that into a grown-up smoothie with a shot of bourbon.

Oh my lord, your bourbon idea has me itching to get home from work and make that smoothie!

I agree on the frozen fruit thing. Definitely make this with almond milk sometime, it is an usual twist.

Wow, I just did a banana + peanut butter + cardamom smoothie. That is a combo I can stand by. It's terrific. But no ice for me... I think it waters down the taste. Instead, I freeze the banana.

Isn't it yummy? Yeah, I threw in a couple pieces of ice because my 'nanas were not frozen. Couldn't figure out how to peel my gazillion frozen bananas i have in the freezer. Is there an easy way?

Jenny, if your daughter likes cucumber, try linzarella's cucumber blueberry mint smoothie. http://food52.com/recipes/4920_cucumber_blueberry_mint_smoothie
I tested it and it's really good. (Your vanilla yogurt would work well here.)
Nice article about Paul Ryan in today's NYTimes, btw. xo
