I notice they turn brown. Is oxidation occurring in the freezer? Or am I leaving them in too long? Sometimes I freeze them if I have extra that are ripe, so they don't go bad. I was wondering whether it was better to freeze them peeled or unpeeled.

tablespoon of Chlorella
2 tablespoons of Cacao
teaspoon of Maca
dash of Ceyenne
tablespoon of Honey
small teaspoon of Celtic salt
then I shove maybe 5 frozen bananas on top and cram it all down
fill it up with spring water and turn it on
I usually do my Chlorella and Super Bluegreen Algae just in water, first thing in the morning. But that's pretty hardcore.

I never thought to add Cayenne to the smoothie. I usually do that with the green drink. Does it enhance the flavor or do you add it just to get all your stuff down at once?
A foodie friend told me she adds a tiny bit of jalapeno to her fruit smoothies. That sounded weird to me, since the smoothie is sweet, so I've never tried it (yet). But she insisted it adds zing to the flavor.

It is also decent if you add raw almonds or cashews.
Sometimes I do a 'milkshake' type smoothie with the almond milk + greens. But on those days, I make sure to have a savory veggie stew and veggie juice. The savory veggie stew has a whole bunch of greens in it, like 2 huge salads! It's amazing! But it works only with milder greens like lettuce and spinach. The kale works well in green smoothies. I usually juice my chard, collards, and wild greens, since they are so strong. I give a shot of green juice to my hubby, but I mix mine with carrot, cucumber, asparagus, or whatever else I have on hand.
