Try adding an avocado or half of an avocado instead of the fiber. Lots of good fiber and healthy oils.

We bought the small magic bullet several years ago and used the snot out of it. We upgraded to the larger bullet after a bit and have used that extensively for a couple of years too. We mostly do an avocado base, occasionally banana.

Definitely a good idea to throw some spinach or some sort of green into those smoothies too. May as well get the benefit of the greens. You don't really notice them other than the color or if you use something with a particularly strong flavor.

If you like a chocolate milk shake, freeze a fairly ripe peeled banana, then add a cup of coconut milk, a table spoon or two of almond butter a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of cocoa powder. I think I may add a couple of ice cubes and a tiny bit of cold water too. Sounds like an odd combo, but makes for a very thick, sweet chocolatey drink that's just like a milk shake.
