Notes

For a thicker texture, use a frozen banana. If you love extra sweetness, try adding a dash of vanilla extract. Experiment with different milks like almond or oat to match your taste preference. For added protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours; just re-blend before serving again.
