Don't Knock it Until You Try it Zucchini Chocolate Banana Nut Milkshake

I have made this 2 times now. Both times I subbed the peanuts for walnuts and the half and half for almond milk. I like that it incorporates a vegetable. The first time I followed the directions exactly and actually grated the zucchini. I have a vitamix blender now, and large pieces frozen will blend no problem. The grating is a very time consuming step. With a basic chocolate smoothie there quite a few vegetables that can be added undetected. It really doesn't matter what type of nuts are added either. Will make other variations on this. ty

I didn't care for this. The cocoa powder was way too overpowering for my taste.

I didn't really care for this drink. It's not the zucchini at all - you don't know it's there. I just found it too rich for me, even using 2% milk. My two kids drank it as well. One didn't care for it, and one did like it. I will not rate it low however, as I don't think personal preference should alter my rating in this case. I really see nothing wrong with the recipe, it's well written, and we make a lot of smoothies and milkshakes in this kitchen. It's simply a matter of personal taste! As the recipe is titled; don't knock it until you try it ~ so try it, you just might find you love it!

MMMMMMM, SO GOOD! I was looking for something 'milkshake-y' for dessert tonight for me and the little guy, and since zucchini are rampant right now, I thought I'd give this a try. YUM, YUM, YUM! The consistancy is perfect and so is the combination of flavors. Since this was a last minute decision, I didn't have any half and half, so I just used Super Skim Milk with great results. And, of course, I just had to top it with some whipped cream. One question tho...is it bad that me and a 3 yr. old drank all 4 servings, lol!? Thanks, Polly for a new milkshake favorite! :)

Outstanding !!!! Can't even taste the Zucchini and I even added more ! Used walnuts intead of peanuts and almond milk in place of half and half because that is what we had on hand . I would give this a 10, and so did the kids and my husband, my new Fav. ? smoothie !!!!!
