Notes
- Almond Milk: If the almond milk you're using has already been sweetened, feel free to reduce or to skip the maple syrup.
- Banana: Using frozen bananas will result in a thicker and colder smoothie. But if you don’t have any frozen, just add a couple of ice cubes.
- Thick Smoothie: For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes to your high powered blender before blitzing everything up!
