Tips

  • 💡 For a thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices instead of fresh.
  • 💡 Substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as oat or coconut milk, for different flavor profiles.
  • 💡 Add a handful of spinach for an extra boost of nutrients without altering the flavor significantly.
