This smoothie is fantastic. I substitute almond milk and add 1 T of sprouted chia powder (you can't even taste it for added omega 3-s, protein and fiber. Also, being female I reduce the portion size slightly by using between 2.5-3 oz. of each ingredient instead of 4 oz. Kind of a lot of sugar for the a.m. but at least it's natural sugar. A great starter recipe that lends itself to many substitutions and additions. I also like adding baby spinach and/or wheat germ for even more health benefits. Thanks Alton! Like other reviewers, I'd like to see more of your healthy recipes on Food Network or in a book!
Tip-if your scale doesn't have a tare function, weigh ingredients individually on scale inside a light weight measuring cup adding to blender between measurements

Quite delicious! Perfect for almost every morning for kick-start of day with different fruits for variety and taste. Thank you for this recipe. Could you please show the four lists of what to eat on daily, weekly, monthly basis as you lost the 50 lbs. You showed them in great color and they were so easy to understand and follow, but too fast to get them written down. Thank you - love your show!

Since my teen years, I have not been able to eat breakfast until late in the morning; doing so would result in feeling ill for most of the day. I decided to give this recipe a try in lieu of skipping food until lunch and using caffeine as a way to suppress hunger. I am happy to say, this has made a tremendously positive impact on my diet and overall well being. Ingredients are readily available and the recipe is flexible to allow for seasonal fruit interchanges as well. I try to kick in spinach as well for an added vitamin punch.

Thanks to AB and the Crew!

Yum! Had this for breakfast yesterday. I don't care for soy milk, so I used coconut milk instead. I also added a scoop of whey protein powder. I skipped allowing it to partially thaw overnight in the fridge, and my blender blasted it into creamy, ice-cream like smoothness. Will definitely be making this one again, (and again, and again.

This is so Decadent. I did however make some changes but not enough to change the flavor much. I didn't have soy milk to used nonfat organic milk in it's place. Also didn't have frozen peaches so I used 4 oz. of sliced apple(with the skin on. I also added 2 Tbs of flax seed. It was wonderful and healthy!! I froze the leftovers so I can try it as a dessert as he recommended.

Excellent. I feel great doing this for breakfast. I've been making these for a few months now and I also mix it up a bit based on what's on hand. The basic idea has so many options.

Thank You Alton for giving me a go-to breakfast!

I add 2 handfuls of spinach to this and make a green smoothie - you cannot taste the spinach, and it is awesome!
