How does this sound--bananas and cilantro? The only other fruits I have is an orange and a pomegranate. I hope to make it for breakfast in a few hours. :-)

I 'Googled' Cilantro and found that it's a member of the carrot family, even though it's a Green. It's also called Chinese Parsley.
Years ago, when Natural Hygiene was at its 'peak', there was major concern about proper food combinations. But now, Fruit Smoothies are left to the imagination of the preparer, including almost anything.
I think Bananas and Cilantro would make a good smoothie, combining very nicely.
My girlfriend and I sometimes have Banana Smoothies, leaving some 'chunks' to lessen the oxidation and make it chewable. I sometimes include mulberries in mine to add a little more flavor......WY
