Notes

  • Can I add ice?
  • If you wanted to add ice, you’d be more than welcome to. I find the smoothie is thick enough without ice when you use frozen bananas, but if you prefer a really thick, extra-cold smoothie, feel free to add that ice or if you are using fresh bananas add ice.
  • What’s the best way to freeze bananas?
  • Grab extra bananas on your next grocery run. Peel them, break into pieces and lay them on a baking sheet, not touching. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until bananas are frozen. Transfer them into a bag and you’ll have frozen bananas for your next smoothie anytime you want one!
  • Can I add vanilla?
  • Yes! This will make it taste more like a creamsicle so feel free to add that to your smoothies.
  • I’d like a sweeter smoothie can I add something to it?
  • We recommend adding either a little bit of honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter. Blend it up, taste and adjust the sweetness depending on your preferences.
  • Can I make this vegan?
  • Yes, make sure to use soy or unsweetened nut milk. Replace the Greek yogurt with non-dairy yogurt and make sure to use honey if you sweetened it and not maple syrup.
  • Can I skip the banana?
  • You can, but you need to make some adjustment because the banana makes the smoothie creamy. You can add an additional 1/2 c. Greek yogurt and ice cubes. Another option is to use a half of a ripe avocado and some ice, but make sure to sweeten the smoothie if you do this. Frozen pineapple would work to, but you’ll have a pineapple orange smoothie!
