• For a creamier texture, substitute almond milk with coconut milk.
• Enhance the nutritional content by adding a tablespoon of flaxseeds or a scoop of protein powder.
• For a chilled delight, freeze the banana before blending.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before consuming.
