Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and optimal creaminess.
  • Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with vegan yogurt to make the smoothie dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
  • For extra citrus flavor, add a small amount of freshly grated orange zest on top as garnish.
  • If you prefer a colder smoothie, add more ice cubes before blending.
