For our St. Patrick's Day breakfast, we had an apple puffy pancake with green sprinkles and a green chocolate banana smoothie. Here are two versions of the recipe (the riper the bananas, the sweeter the end result):

2-3 overripe bananas, peeled, cut up and frozen
1-2 cups milk
1-2 T. cocoa powder
green food coloring (or spinach if you have a VitaMix)

Now the dairy-free version (taught to me by Veronica):

2-3 overripe bananas, peeled, cut up and frozen
1-2 cups water
1 handful whole almonds
1-2 T. cocoa powder
green food coloring (or spinach if you have a VitaMix)

The almonds definitely blend up better in a VitaMix, but make a respectable smoothie in my Bosch blender as well. Here are some testaments to its yumminess!
