What is the frosting made out of in the picture? Can’t wait to try this!
Jennifer Drummond, do you work for Blendtec?
What can be used instead of the banana? I don’t eat bananas.
I used walnuts instead of flax and frozen spinach, very tasty and very green!
I am wondering if you could just use cooked wheat berries?
