VARIATIONS

You can add in a handful of spinach for a nutritional boost.
‍
Any nut butter works well.
‍
If you like things a little sweeter we recommend adding in the dried date.

TIPS

Using frozen bananans and berries is what makes this smoothie super thick and creamy. If you're using an un-frozen banana you can add 1/2 a cup of ice to get it to a similar consistency.
‍
If your blender isn't super powerful you might need to add a little more liquid, this will make it more of a traditional smoothie consistency but still delicious.
