Notes
For an extra creamy texture, use frozen banana instead of fresh. You can also replace almond milk with oat or coconut milk for a different flavor. If you want a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of milk slightly. For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
Tips
- Soak almonds for a few hours to make blending easier and improve digestion.
- Add chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 benefits.
- To make it a meal replacement, add a scoop of protein powder or a spoon of nut butter.
- Use ripe bananas for a natural sweet flavor without extra sugar.
- Drink it fresh to preserve the nutrients and creamy consistency.
