No luck so far! I don't make them icy cold, just cool, which is fine in the summer time, but in the cold winter months here in Oregon it's really hard with that damp, cold feeling in my stomach all of the time. But it's just so gross drinking warm banana smoothies; I feel like I'm drinking cookie dough batter smoothie. Have you made any progress with this? I average at least one smoothie a day; it's been a very important way for me to get my calories in. Thanks!

Perhaps add one piece of ice at a time until you find your ideal, or start with refrigerated nans, which you can warm until perfect.
Also adding in a bit more water can help loosen up that batter into something that goes down easier, if a bit longer.

However, I do not like smoothies or the way they make me feel and prefer ripe whole fruit.
Peace, PK

If you mean juices and smoothies, I have a difficult time with the taste. The next problem might be some slight indigestion and burping followed by frequent trips to the bathroom to do number two.
I almost never do smoothies and juices and if I do, it might be more of a social things like introducing them and this diet to someone.
I also prefer mono and simple meals. I eat mono meals during the day, but dinner might be a salad with one or two ingredients like tomatoe or avocado.
That is just me though. I am not sure if or what the science behind it is.
Peace, PK
