    Substitutions

    • Strawberries: change up the flavor of this smoothie by using a frozen fruit mix that includes strawberries (mixed berries, tropical mix, mango/strawberry, etc.).
    • Banana:
    • Milk: any type of milk will work in this recipe! You can use dairy-free alternatives like almond, oat or cashew milk; or opt for a creamy whole milk.
    • Yogurt: plain greek yogurt makes this smoothie thick and creamy, but you can substitute for any type of yogurt (including a dairy-free yogurt)
    • Honey: to sweeten up your smoothie, add 2 - 3 tablespoons of honey. Maple syrup. can also be used as a sweetener.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I make my smoothie thicker?

    To make a thicker smoothie, use less liquid (milk) or add more fruit (like banana). More frozen fruit will also make your smoothie thicker, for example using frozen bananas (instead of fresh).

    Should you use frozen bananas to make this smoothie?

    This smoothie comes out creamy and thick by using a fresh banana but you can also freeze the banana for an even thicker texture.

    Top Tip

    Adding chia seeds to your smoothie is a tasty way to add a boost of nutrients to your day. You can add the chia seeds (about 1 tablespoon) directly into your blender or stir them into your smoothie once it's poured.

    I find that the seeds tend to stick to my blender, so I add them to my poured smoothie and then let it sit for a few minutes so that they can 'gel'.
