You can omit the honey as it's high in sugar and use the artificial stuff instead, but I thought you'd want to keep it natural. Isn't maple syrup just as high in sugar? Also, do use the real stuff? I've always seen xanthum gum listed in store bought products, but never knew what it was for. Again, if you wanna keep natural, I'd stick with the banana and oats. They both help with the thick and smooth part. I'll fly in to CA and we can experiment with different ingredients to perfect the shake/smoothie. We'll have them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (I'll provide the laxatives, if needed.)

If it serves four, how come I never got any?

That's pretty similar to how we make our chocolate smoothies. The staple ingredients are usually honey, banana, oats, ice, cocoa. The extra added to the last one was red prickly pear, which was surprisingly good. It tasted just as nice as cherry with chocolate.

Lol @ you not wanting to seem rude. I liked your first reply. I don't know if there is a right way. I think that's just the way it is? I felt like I was eating a slug.

No matter the nationality, eggplant is good eatin'. I'd allow you to make that for me. Beets are tasty, too. A big no on okra, though. I tried them once... too slimy. And they were deep fried, too. (Which usually makes everything taste better.)

This is a similar to how we make crepes, skim milk and all. For for the filling, a sprinkling of sugar with fresh lemon juice is quite tasty, so is just honey alone.
