Notes
Frozen Banana Is a Must: It’s what gives the smoothie that thick, milkshake-like texture. If you use a room-temperature banana, I recommend adding a few ice cubes to the smoothie to keep it cold.
Blend Well: Take your time to make sure everything is super smooth—nobody wants lumps.
Sweeten It Up: Need a little extra sweetness? A drizzle of honey or maple syrup will do the trick.
