Notes
Make It Creamier:
Use frozen banana instead of fresh for a thicker, milkshake-like texture.
Adjust Consistency:
Add more milk for a thinner smoothie or extra ice for a thicker consistency.
Boost the Nutrition:
Protein powder, seeds, or collagen peptides add staying power and make this smoothie more filling.
Meal Prep Tip:
Pre-portion ingredients (except liquid) into freezer bags for quick morning blending.
Sweetness Control:
If your banana is very ripe, you may not need additional sweeteners.
