Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen banana to make this smoothie. However I recommend frozen banana for a thicker and fresher result. To freeze your bananas, peel and slice them before storing in a freezer bag or container, and place in the freezer.
- You can also prepare the smoothie and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to cool, or add a handful of ice cubes.
