Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey and blending again if needed.
- Store completed shakes in sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; stir before serving as separation is normal.

- To freeze bananas for shakes, peel, slice, freeze on a lined baking sheet for 1-2 hours, then transfer to freezer bags to prevent clumping.
