Notes

Freeze your banana ahead of time for a thicker shake. You can also freeze almond milk in cubes to avoid diluting the flavor. This recipe is versatile! Experiment with add-ins like cinnamon, cocoa powder, or Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; just remember to stir before drinking.
