Notes

  1. It's important to add the ingredients to the blender in the order listed to keep the frozen banana from getting stuck in the blender blades.
  2. Make sure the banana is frozen for a thicker, frostier smoothie. 
  3. For an even thicker smoothie, add another 1/2 banana.
  4. This recipe is customizable with whatever protein powder, milk or nut butter that you have on hand.
