Notes
Recipe notes: For a creamier smoothie, we highly recommend freezing the banana in sliced before making smoothie. Using frozen banana will eliminate the need to use ice in your smoothie, which means the smoothie will be much creamier. However, if your banana is not frozen then add a few ice cubes to step one.
Leftovers + storage: This green smoothie recipe can be frozen for up to two days, however the texture be icy and not smooth. We froze one portion and enjoyed it two days later and it was still delicious, but had a thicker and icier consistency.
