About
So many variations can occur with this recipe. Any overly ripe fruit will work, such as bananas or peaches or unsweetened applesauce. The pureed fruit makes a thick nectar that would also serve as a base for a good sauce. Any sort of milk such as cow's milk, soy milk, almond milk or yogurt would work. Any nut butter such as cashew or peanut could replace the almond butter. Ground flax seeds would be a nice addition too. If you are looking for a 'smooth' smoothie, I'd leave out the coconut because it is a bit chunky. But if you feel like chewing your smoothie, add it
