Chef's Notes

  • For a creamier smoothie, use frozen banana instead of fresh.
  • Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make this smoothie more filling and nutritious.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more almond milk or water.
  • To meal prep, blend the smoothie without ice and store in airtight containers in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge and blend with fresh ice before serving.
  • For extra nutrition, add a handful of kale or a tablespoon of flaxseed meal.
