Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum flavor.
- Customize Your Granola: Feel free to use your favorite granola or even make your own! Adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruit can enhance the texture and nutrition.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add more granola or a few ice cubes. For a thinner consistency, add a splash more coconut milk.
- Toppings Galore: Don’t skip the toppings! Fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a sprinkle of extra chia seeds can take your smoothie to the next level.
- Meal Prep: Make a double batch and store it in the fridge for a quick breakfast option throughout the week. Just give it a quick stir before serving!
