Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The key to SUPER creamy smoothies without banana—power-packed smoothie cubes with veggies, fats, and protein that you can prep ahead for easy blending!

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY VITAMIX VIA THEFEEDFEED.

You know those moments when an idea so clever and obvious hits you and makes you wonder why years ago you didn’t think of it? This is one of those moments.

Easy. Practical. Versatile. Nutritious. Customizable. Just checking all of the NEED IN YOUR LIFE boxes. Not saying I can predict the future, but if I could I would tell you that these cubes are destined to be a freezer staple very soon.

The key to making smoothies without banana, and a peek at some fun new blender things from Vitamix this way…

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

In case you are confused—since when does smoothie making involve avocados and ice cube trays? Let me explain.

You know how frozen bananas are the easy way to make thick and creamy and sweet smoothies. And how 95% of smoothies use them. And how you can make almost ice cream with them because they do their job so well. And how sometimes you are out and have to have oatmeal for breakfast instead. And how easy it is to consume 4-5 bananas in the form of a creamy bowl but that maybe doesn’t always make you feel so good. You are nodding right now, yes?

Well I created a frozen banana substitute with less (or zero) fruit from a variety of good for ya stuff that will still make your smoothies taste like melty soft-serve. A faux frozen banana you could say. Bonus: no ripening required.

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

I wanted this to be more of an inspirational guideline recipe than a hard-and-fast rules recipe. Which is to say, there are LOTS of options:

Cauliflower or zucchini. You need one or the other, but you can use both. Cauliflower makes for a frostier texture, zucchini is creamier. Cauliflower should be cooked (or buy it already cooked/frozen), zucchini can be raw (but peeled for color purposes).

Avocado or sweet potato. Avocado—higher fat, sooooo creamy, no cooking, not very sweet. Sweet potato—lower fat, naturally sweet, gotta cook it, may turn every smoothie you make with these cubes a hideous shade of brownish-orange. So there’s your pro/con list.

Hemp or chia or flax seeds. Or all three of these super little seeds.

Dates or unsweetened. Add the dates for one-stop creamy AND sweet smoothie cubes. Or skip the dates for heavy on veg, light on sugar smoothie cubes to use for creaminess in smoothies with other fruits. Or use honey or maple syrup for sweet but fruit-free smoothie cubes. Up to you.

Milk. From-a-carton coconut milk is what I used, but any kind of milk will work. Or you could use coconut water, but they may be more icy.

Protein powder or collagen. Only if you want to. This is the simple and yummy vegan protein powder I use. And collagen peptides are much cheaper on Thrive Market (honestly the main reason I joined), so if you’re going that route check them out.

Extra boosts! Now this is where things get fun and highly customizable. Consider good stuff like: maca powder, turmeric, greens powder, ginger, vanilla bean, etc. Anything to bump up the flavor and/or effortlessly sneak in the healthy stuff.

Or if you hate decisions, disregard all of the above, just keep scrolling, and I’ll tell you exactly what I did.

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

Can we talk about the shiny red elephant in the room post for a sec? That is the new Venturist V1200 from Vitamix and obviously I am obsessed with it because I mean just look at it. It’s swanky and elegant and not just beautiful to look at but beautiful to use too.

A few things I love about this model in particular:

  • It’s smart but simple. It still has the digital timer and Self Detect technology and variable speeds and pulse feature, but the controls are simple just like the original models.
  • Smaller cups. Ya’ll, this is huge. In addition to the standard 64oz container, there is a 20oz single-serving sized smoothie cup and an even smaller 8oz cup (that I am completely smitten with). Oh, and they’re dishwasher safe!
  • Lighter weight. Sounds like nbd, but with the acrobatics I do while shooting videos I appreciate that.
  • It can do it all—batters, smoothies, nut milks, flours, ice creams, nut butters, etc.

I’ve been told I don’t post enough recipes that don’t use the blender, to which I say once you know the magic of working with a Vitamix you won’t ever want to cook/bake anything without it again either.

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

The smoothie cube making process is as simple as blend > freeze overnight > store in the freezer for any and all smoothie making occasions. No ice cube tray? A mini muffin pan makes for a fine stand-in.

They will last in the freezer for quite a while, so feel free to double or triple the batch, fill up that freezer, and feel like a meal-preppin queen. One batch will make 4-6 (INSANELY CREAMY) smoothies depending on how much other fruit you add. I’m telling ya, the texture is next level luxurious. And they don’t melt as fast or turn brown like banana smoothies either.

Banana-Free Smoothie Cubes

Bananas—who needs em? Wait…actually we do for banana bread. Nevermind bananas, I love you.

But for blending not baking, THESE CUBES. Your new smoothie secret weapon.

Description

The key to SUPER creamy smoothies without banana—power-packed smoothie cubes with veggies, fats, protein that you can prep ahead for easy blending!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100g) cooked cauliflower
  • 1 zucchini (150g) (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/2 (80g) an avocado
  • 4–5 (75g) pitted medjool dates ((optional)*)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup (40g) hemp seeds
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk
  • Optional: 2 scoops protein powder or collagen peptides (**)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp maca powder

Instructions

  1. Add everything to a high speed blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Fill an ice cube tray and/or muffin pan. Makes approximately 3 dozen cubes.
  4. Freeze overnight.
  5. Pop out the cubes and transfer in a ziplock bag or airtight bag in the freezer. They will last at least a month frozen, maybe longer but I haven’t had a chance to test it yet.
  6. Blend 6-7 cubes with other fruit, milk, and smoothie ingredients of choice for the creamiest banana-free smoothies!

Notes

*You can leave them unsweetened if you are going to blend with other fruit later. Or use honey or maple syrup instead. **This is my favorite vegan protein powder. And I order my collagen peptides from Thrive Market (affiliate link). See post above for additional ideas/options!

    Love bananas, but will try this one! While watching the video I was wondering if you have a favorite ice cube tray. It would be nice to have different sizes – teaspoon, tablespoon. Been reading reviews on them, but nothing seems to stand out. You are my “go to” for desserts. Thank you! Will rate later.

      Hi Pam! I like bananas too, but honestly I think the consistency is even better with these. Plus variety is just fun 🙂 I actually had to buy an ice cube tray just for this recipe haha, so I don’t have tons of experience to compare to but the one I got worked great and the popped out really easily. I linked it in the instructions, but here it is again: http://amzn.to/2DwAqfD Can’t wait to hear what you think!

    Going a little comment crazy but again these are awesome!:)

    I’ve done this with kale juice and wheatgrass to make fresh juice in the morning and with almond milk to help make smoothies more frozen, but i love the idea of frozen smoothie cubes too!

      Oh yes, I have even seen wheatgrass frozen cubes that you can buy like that but much smarter to make your own! Or just throw some wheatgrass in these, honestly you can’t really screw them up so I say pack them with all the goodies🤗 Thanks for all the comment love!

    You are a foodie genius! If I don’t use zucchini, do I double up on the cauliflower? If i use almond milk, then maybe some extra protein powder to make up for the caulif-almond duet. I’ve just discovered Chia pudding for bkfst and am really enjoying it.

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      January 17, 2018 at 3:43 pm

      Yep, double the cauliflower if you are not using zucchini. Almond milk will be fine in the same amount as coconut, I used the light coconut so it’s similar in consistency. But yes protein powder never hurts and will make the mixture thicker too. It should be thick to blend but not so thick you need the tamper, so just tweak the amount of milk as needed to get that consistency (you really can’t mess em up!) Oooh yay, I am so happy you are on the chia pudding train with me🤗 Enjoy!

    Just when I think I have the coolest Vitamix around I see this post, and I’m thinking “trade in time ;)” Your Vitamix post from last February is actually what convinced me to buy my current one! I think/hope I used your affiliate link!

    And these cubes: LIFE-CHANGING! Over the summer I started freezing nut milk/nut butter cubes for nice cream and I would do half banana, half cubes and it made nice cream so much more refreshing than just bananas. Must try these smoothie cubes next =)

      Haha I still love that Vitamix too, honestly all their machines are awesome you can’t go wrong. Thank is where I got the idea, from almond milk ice cubes (although so yummy to add nut butter too, love that idea). I mean why not chuck a bunch of good stuff in there with the milk if you are going to making ice cubes anyways? I haven’t tried straight nice cream with these yet, but I plan too…I have good feelings about it 🙂

      Thanks for checking them out Ela! I know myself well enough to know that already ready to go is the best way to pack lots of veggies into my smoothies haha. Easy is where it’s at 🙂 I hope you try it out, or at least your own form of smoothie ice cubes because the thick creamy texture is so worth it!

    This is just a brilliant idea Natalie!! And hello, NO BANANAS! I think I’m in love, hahaha! I confess I’m not really a smoothie person, I prefer hearty meals, but my daughter happens to love smoothies and this is such a great idea. The smoother and creamier, the better. She does love bananas in a smoothie, but I love, love the fat and protein boost here with these cubes, 2 things very important for a growing child. I don’t hold back when it comes to fats for her and the healthy ones I focus on. I’m definitely going to make these to keep on hand for smoothies for her. I love, love this idea! I’ll definitely do the zucchini route since I love zucchini and it makes things sweeter and creamier. I have never used zucchini in a smoothie but I use it in my cheese sauce and it most definitely makes it creamy, so I can totally see how magical it would be in a smoothie. Love this idea so much, you are awesome my friend!

      Cheese sauce…smoothies…I mean basically the same thing lol. But zucchini does make things surprisingly creamy! I swear me and Olivia were just destined to be snack besties. I may not be a growing child, but I am all about the healthy fats lately too. My coconut consumption is really a bit much tbh😂 Just giving the body what it’s craving. But yes, even though I like bananas these make for a much more balanced and satisfying smoothie than just a zillion frozen bananas and milk (oh I remember those days ha!) I hope you made it back home safe and are still holding onto a bit of the Disneyworld magical vibe✨

        Thanks. A digital scale is something else for the kitchen wish list. I have made your (unsweetened) smoothie cubes, but haven’t used any yet. I actally made a double batch because I had lots of cauliflower. I think these are a remarkably good idea. The mixture was really creamy while pouring it into the ice cube trays. I have never used an online recipe calculator, but I think I might start doing that.

    Can I just use all chia seeds instead of hemp (I don’t have any)? And are the substitutions for sweet potato just one-for-one with avocado? I can’t wait to try this! With swim team coming up, I want to have a good, filling breakfast I can just stuff in a blender.
    Now, what to do with all those frozen bananas. . .

      Yes and yes! You can use just chia seeds and the sweet potato can be subbed one for one with the avocado. Honestly it’s hard to mess these up, partly why I love them 🙂 Haha between nice cream and banana bread I don’t think that will be too serious a problem!

      Hmm I think these have too many other ingredients going on to work in that pancake recipe, these are really best for smoothies and nice cream bowls. But you can use applesauce or yogurt in those banana pancakes instead😊

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
