Helpful Tips
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust the honey to your liking or use your preferred natural sweetener.
- For a thicker consistency, add more frozen banana slices or reduce the almond milk slightly.
- If you’re out of fresh mint, a few drops of peppermint extract can be a handy substitution, but be cautious as the flavor is much stronger.
Storage Instructions
Though best enjoyed fresh, you can store any leftover smoothie in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions
If almond milk isn’t your favorite, feel free to use oat milk or coconut milk as alternatives.
