After making Julie Morris' amazing Lemon Coconut Bars http://mamadrool.blogspot.ca/2015/10/when-life-gives-you-lemons-make-dessert.html, I scoured the library for more of her reads.
She happens to have an entire book featuring the beloved Smoothie!!

 Superfood Smoothies

There are literally loads of options, but we chose two that appealed to us most in the moment: Raspberry Peach and Carmelized Banana.

Raspberry Peach

~1 & 1/2 c peaches
~1 & 1/2 c frozen raspberries
~1/4 c Medjool dates/dried mulberries
~1 c vanilla non-dairy milk
~2 T chia seed
~1/4 t vanilla
~2 c coconut ice

Caramelized Banana

~2 sliced bananas

~1 T coconut sugar

~1 T coconut oil

~1 c vanilla non-dairy milk

~1 T maca powder (which we didn't use)

~2 T chia seed

~3 c coconut ice

Dust the bananas with coconut sugar before sauteing in coconut oil to caramelize (5 minutes each side).

(NB: Banana's were eaten just like this! and not as well-loved in the smoothie!)

Remove from heat and place in freezer for 15 minutes before blending with remaining ingredients.
