Make sure you get as much peel and "white" off as you're willing to, if you want it a little chunkier then I guess you could leave it :)

Frozen fruit is always the way to go, just prep the fruit before you freeze: peel the banana and cut it before you freeze it!

You can definitely swap out the banana for something else or just take it out. Bananas do help to thicken the smoothie a bit but you could add mango or something else to compensate. Usually no matter what fresh fruit you put in it will turn out very delicious :)

I came here to give the tip about frozen fruit and no ice, but y'all beat me to it. I don't freeze my bananas, though, because it makes it creamier.

Hi. Love smoothies. I freeze all fruit. No ice needed. Yummy.

Sorry, I meant no "added sugar". Obviously fruit and yogurt both have sugar, and this is a dessert. However as a snack/energy drink fresh fruit and yogurt are clearly far healthier options then most considering sugar is actually good for you in moderation, Especially natural sugars from fruit and yogurt as opposed to high fructose corn syrup or even pure cane sugar. I appreciate the feedback, I'll make sure to edit summary

The fruits themselves have sugar and the yogurt is loaded with sugar.
