Notes

For an extra creamy texture, try using frozen banana. You can adjust the sweetness with overripe bananas or add pitted dates. Feel free to customize with other leafy greens like spinach or additional fruits. Store leftover smoothies in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, but for best flavor, consume immediately.
