Notes
Note 1 - Banana
If you prefer a thicker smoothie, I recommend using a frozen banana. For a sweeter taste, make sure the banana is super ripe (almost black) as this will enhance the sweetness.
Note 2 - Milk
Substitutions - any type of milk. Nutrition information based off cow's milk.
Storing
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Note, it may thicken.
Freezing
Freeze extra in ice cubes and blend with a little extra milk.
