Tips to make Strawberry Banana Smoothie

1. Super ripe bananas make for a sweeter smoothie, so don’t let them sit too long!
2. If you want to cut back on calories, swap Greek yogurt for a low-fat version or unsweetened almond milk.
3. Want even more nutrition? Toss in a handful of spinach before blending — you’ll never taste it!
4. Adjust the thickness! Add more milk for a thinner consistency or fewer ice cubes for something more substantial.
