Comment on Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie by Pep

Love this!!! I did not add chia or flax. I used frozen banana and unsweetened almond milk. I used 1/3 c peanuts instead of 2 T peanut butter. It barely had a peanut flavor

This is totally awesome. I had never had creamed spinach but I was given a bunch of spinach which I froze as I could not use it at the time. In this recipe I used 2 16 oz containers of fresh baby spinach that I had thrown in the freezer. It was perfect. I used all the cream sauce mixture. Other than using frozen spinach I followed the recipe exactly

In reply to Shannon R. This is true! It also may not harden which is more of a personal preference than efficacy!

Hi there! thanks so much for such a detailed explanation.. I wonder would you mind if I asked you a few questions please?
I’ve read people say that essential oils shouldn’t be mixed with dried herbs as they wil make them wet and eventually they will go rancid as essentialoilsareactuallywater based… is this true? also, some have said that a carrier oil should be added to the essential oils? is that correct?
p.s. I love the idea of blending the herbs to help it go down the drain easier!!! ❤️ ….
thank you!!! Sharon ..

These are really good. I have tried MANY different granola bar recipes and have never found one that I actually enjoy. Why did I never think to add eggs and bake them? Genius! I used chocolate protein powder because that is what I had on hand, and they were still great. Going to try vanilla as well. Thank you for a tasty bar that finally does not droop and fall apart to a wet sticky mess like the others. Yum!

In reply to Nancy. Nancy, I think since this is on the salts and going into water where it will be diluted, you are okay without a carrier oil. If it were going directly on skin, you would need one. You can always use one, it will just have less scent.
