Notes
Please read all of the info above and below before making this recipe.
This recipe makes one large smoothie (3-cups), but you can divide it and make two smaller servings.
Any type of unsweetened, unflavored milk will work in this recipe.
If using the weight measurements, the banana was weighed after it was peeled.
Either a fresh or frozen banana can be used. If using frozen, your finished smoothie will be much thicker, feel free to add a little more milk to thin it out to your liking.
There is no sweetener in this smoothie, it's naturally sweetened with the banana, but if you would like more sweetness, you can add a little maple syrup or a soft pitted date to the blender with the rest of the ingredients.
A high-speed blender is recommended for this recipe so it turns out smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-speed blender, a regular blender will also work, just blend for a little longer.
