Notes
- For a thinner smoothie, add more plant-based milk. For a thicker one, add a few ice cubes.
- If your blender isn't very strong, add the milk first and use small frozen banana pieces so everything blends more easily. Fresh bananas also work, but the smoothie won't be as thick and ice cream-like.
- Try add-ins like a spoonful of peanut butter, ground flaxseed, or a different frozen fruit for more flavor, fiber, and protein.
- The bananas are usually sweet enough, but you can add a little maple syrup or a date if you like it sweeter.
