Notes

  • Freeze the banana beforehand for an extra thick and creamy smoothie.
  • For more protein, add one scoop of vanilla protein powder.
  • Add spinach for extra greens without changing the flavor much.
  • Use frozen mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
