    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • Banana-free smoothie: The banana is what adds creaminess and sweetness to this smoothie, but if you want a banana-free option, you can swap the frozen banana for frozen avocado, frozen cauliflower rice, or a handful of ice cubes.  The texture and flavor won't be the same and you might want to add a medjool date or a touch of honey or maple syrup for some sweetness. 
  • Storage: This smoothie is definitely best enjoyed right after blending while it’s thick and creamy, but if you want to store it for later you can store it in an airtight container (like a mason jar) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate a little over time.
