Notes
Frozen blueberries – are great to keep this smoothie ice cold. You can of course use fresh blueberries if you happen to have them on hand, but then you may want to blend in some ice so that you keep the smoothie nice and cold.
Banana – should be ripe and delicious. You can also use frozen banana. If you want your smoothie to be thicker, then feel free to add more banana.
Sweet enough? Taste test and see if it’s sweet enough for you. If not, feel free to add some maple syrup to sweeten it up.
Servings. This recipe can make one large serving or two smaller servings. Depends on how big your appetite is at breakfast!
