  • The natural creaminess from banana means no heavy dairy needed
02 -
  • Frozen banana instead of fresh changes everything, making it thick like a milkshake
  • Blending longer than 45 seconds won't ruin it but can make it warm from friction
  • The smoothie separates if left sitting, so pour and drink immediately
03 -
  • Invest in a blender with at least 900 watts for the smoothest texture
  • Let the smoothie sit for 30 seconds after blending to let air bubbles settle
