Notes
- Be aware that the type of blender you use. The quality of the blender will determine the texture of your smoothie. Start at a slower speed and increase gradually. Place your liquid first so the ingredients will mix easier.
- You can freeze the banana prior to use if you wish.
- You can adjust the amount of almond milk to achieve the thickness you wish. Personally, I like it with a thick texture.
- A lot of people do hate greens of any kind, especially kids. If you do not like greens, smoothies are a great way to sneak greens into your diet. Yes, you can have greens in your smoothies, and believe me, a good combination can taste great! In this recipe, I added cucumber but you can substitute it with a handful of spinach.
