Helpful Tips
For an even creamier texture, freeze the banana chunks for 2-3 hours before blending. If you prefer a smoothie with more fiber, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending. To accommodate different dietary needs, feel free to substitute almond milk with oat milk, regular milk, coconut milk, or any other milk alternative you prefer. Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Pairings
Pair this smoothie with a bowl of granola, fresh berries, or a handful of nuts for a complete and nourishing breakfast. Complement your meal with a side of whole wheat toast topped with avocado for an added boost of healthy fats and fiber. A freshly brewed coffee or herbal tea would also be a delightful complement to round out your morning routine.
