Notes

makes about 3 cups of smoothie
Bananas: use fresh or frozen bananas for a creamier texture. You might need a splash more milk if using frozen.
Use ripe fruit: Ripe fruit blends more smoothly and tastes more vibrant than underripe fruit.
Adjust consistency: If your blended smoothie is too thick, thin it with extra milk. For a thicker smoothie, pop in a few extra bananas and blend to thicken it u
Sneak in veggies: Other than the color, frozen baby spinach or kale is an easy way to boost your smoothie’s nutrient density.
Adjust sweetness: Add a little maple syrup or honey if you want a sweeter taste.
