Has anyone found a fruit that works as well as bananas to put into smoothies? I'm trying to come up with some ideas for my little banana-allergic girl, because we make lots of smoothies around here and it drives me crazy to not always have fruit that works to make a creamy consistency. Ripe pears seem to work okay, but the pears at the grocery store aren't always ripe.

avacado? IDK...it's pretty smooth and doesn't have too much flavor...just a thought though because I've never tried it!

That's what I was going to say :) Or what about using juicier fruits but with yogurt for creaminess? I also use canned fruit sometimes, peaches, pears and pineapple work well and are always ripe ;)
