Notes
Banana Note: If you don't have a frozen banana, use can use a fresh banana and blend in 1/2 cup of ice to the smoothie to make it cold.
Greek Yogurt Note: If you're not a fan of Greek yogurt or are vegan, feel free to use a plant-based alternative. You could also omit the yogurt all together and replace it for about 2 tablespoons of another protein add-in of your choice such as collagen peptides powder, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, hemp seeds, etc.
Smoothie Bowl Note: It’s super easy to turn this into an flax smoothie bowl! Follow the same recipe, but use half the milk so instead of adding 1/2 cup of milk, use 1/4 cup of milk for the smoothie bowl version.
