Notes
- Adjust the consistency: For a thinner smoothie, add more plant-based milk. For a thicker one, add some ice cubes.
- If using a weak blender: Always add the soft/liquid ingredients first and use small, frozen chopped banana pieces to make them easier to blend. Fresh banana also works but isn't as decadent/as nice cream, like.
- Tweak to taste: Experiment with various add-ins. For example, pair the base recipe with some ground seed or nut/seed butter with another type of fruit to boost the nutrients further. This will increase the fiber, protein, micronutrients, and antioxidants in this recipe for kale smoothie.
- Sweeten to taste: The bananas may be sweet enough, but if not, add your favorite natural sweetener to taste.
