This is delicious and easy to make.

This was VERY good! The recipe I usually make uses vanilla yogurt. That combined with the OJ makes for a high sugar content. I wanted to start trying smoothies with plain yogurt to cut down on the sugar. Split 3 ways between me and my boys this is only 10g of sugar. Thanks for an excellent, lower sugar smoothie recipe! We will make this often!

I definitely think that this tasted good, but it was the consistensy that I wish was just a little different. I wanted something thicker I guess. I tryed adding four ice cubes but it didn't help. I DID end up drinking the whole thing though, and surprisingly it really filled me up! I'm still full!

Excellent! I have been trying to make different smoothies to entice my 6 year old to eat healthy and this recipe was perfect. I made ours vegan by using vanilla flavored coconut milk yogurt and skipped the honey (since the yogurt was sweet enough). And even though my yogurt was vanilla, I still added the vanilla that the recipe called for. Loved it and I was able to make 4 small servings out of this recipe (I froze 3 servings in small cups that can be easily served to my son in the morning for breakfast). Thanks for posting this yumminess.

Really tasty. I think it is thinner than what people think of as a smoothie and that is why the lower rating on the recipe. I liked it as a thinner smoothie myself even though I used less Oasis orange juice, 3% yogurt, alcohol free vanilla, local raw honey, plus the banana.
