Expert Tips

• It's best to use frozen bananas as it gives the smoothie a creamy texture. 
• If you're using fresh bananas, you can add a handful of ice if you like. Alternatively, you can add frozen cauliflower, which also gives the smoothie a creamy texture. 
• By adding greek or vanilla yogurt to your healthy banana smoothie it gives it an even creamier and thicker texture.
• Try adding some ground flax seeds for a different texture and added nutrition.
• Use any kind of milk you like! Almond, oat, coconut, or cows milk are all great options.
• Add honey to taste (optional). Please note: honey is not safe for children under 1. Omit if serving to under 1-year-olds.
