Notes

  • If you bananas are really ripe, then you might find that you don't need to add any extra sweetener. It depends on your taste.
  • Use frozen bananas to make it extra creamy.
  • Add some extra protein this smoothie with either some Greek yoghurt or nut butter.
  • Give the smoothie a green boost by blending in some avocado, kale or spinach.
  • To make the smoothie thicker, use frozen fruit or adding some oats.
  • Add some ground flax seeds or chia seeds for extra nutrition.
  • A little cinnamon adds some warmth and extra nutrition too.
  • To make this a little more indulgent, top the smoothie with some chopped up dark chocolate.
  • When adding ingredients to a blender, always add liquids first. This will help your blender run easily and will help stop any lumps in your smoothie.
  • Use a high powdered blender to make sure everything is really smooth.
  • Make this extra thick and serve it as a smoothie bowl loaded with toppings.
