That recipe sounds like it doesn't need any sweetner, honey or otherwise, especially if you use really ripe bananas. My favorite smoothie uses frozen ripe bananas, tahini, spinach and water or almond milk.

My favorite breakfast lately has been this smoothie:

2 frozen bananas, chopped
1 C almond milk, give or take
2 T tahini (6 grams of protein!)

I also do a raw version with raw tahini, fresh spinach, 2 frozen bananas and water. Yum!

I am a vegan and feed my dog a plant-based diet. My son has made the decision to be vegetarian, but he always eats vegan at home. I know that my choice to eat a plant-based diet made up of mostly local and organic produce and reducing the amount of processed and packaged foods I eat has greater impact on the environment than any other steps I could make. I don't believe there is a line when it comes to being "green". The fact is that our planet is hurting and we're at a point where serious action needs to be taken. Yes, it's overwhelming to think about, but we can't give up. It's about making conscious decisions everyday and taking small steps. I didn't become vegan overnight, it was a process of learning and adapting. Once you start making green choices, it just gets easier.
