Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones.
- Feel free to customize the smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients, or a scoop of protein powder for an added protein boost.
- If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter.
