Notes
Possible add-ins: Peanut butter, nut butter, frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, Chia or flax seeds, coconut, protein powder, cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, instant coffee powder
Other fruit: If planning to use other frozen fruits along with the bananas, make sure to use only 3 cups of frozen fruit total. I would go with 1 ½ cups of frozen banana chunks and 1 ½ cups of other frozen fruits, so you still have a strong creamy base.
Vegan: If you're looking for a plant-based vegan smoothie recipe, simply swap the dairy products with plant-based milk and yogurt.
