Notes

Smoothie Tips
  • I always have frozen banana coins on hand for smoothies - they add a creamy texture that can't be beat.
    • When a banana is about to get a little TOO ripe, I'll peel and slice it, arrange on a small cookie sheet or plate, and freeze until 75% solid. I'll then transfer them to a container for ready access!
  • Feel free to add your favorite protein powder or supplement to your smoothie! I'm partial to a collagen based protein powder to get an extra boost.
