Notes

  • Use frozen bananas to achieve a naturally thick and creamy texture without needing ice.
  • Almond butter adds healthy fats and creaminess; choose a natural, unsweetened variety for best results.
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk keeps the smoothie dairy-free and low calorie.
  • Add flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Collagen protein powder boosts protein content and supports skin and joint health.
  • If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a touch of honey or maple syrup, but the bananas usually provide enough sweetness.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
