Notes
Banana: I like to use frozen banana because it makes the smoothie creamier and colder. To freeze bananas in bulk, freeze them on the cutting board or cookie sheet, then transfer it to a freezer bag. This helps to keep the banana pieces from sticking to each other.
Mocha option: I love to do ½ cup milk and ½ cup coffee to make a mocha smoothie. Make sure the coffee is chilled before adding to the blender.
Sweetener: If your banana isn't very ripe the smoothie may not be sweet enough. You can add liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave syrup 1-2 teaspoons at a time.
