Make liquid a priority. Pour your liquid into the blender before adding solids to blend smoothly.
Frozen fruit is key. Specifically, a frozen banana is essential for achieving that creamy texture without ice. Peel the fruit before freezing.
Don’t fear brown bananas! The riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie.
Get super fruity. Add more fruits like mango, pineapple, or berries for a delicious fruity smoothie.
Kick up the protein. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make this smoothie a filling meal.
Give it a nutrient boost. Add collagen powder, ground flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, or nut butter for extra health benefits.
Mix up the milk. If whole milk isn’t your thing, any kind will do.
Go vegan! Make a vegan smoothie by swapping coconut milk and vegan yogurt for the milk and Greek yogurt.
