Notes

Frozen banana: Ok, this is key here if you're going to meal prep this smoothie. Using a frozen banana creates the best creamy texture (think milkshake vibes) that stays perfect the whole next day! No reblending required. Just peel and freeze a banana the day before you make this. If you don't have a frozen banana, just add ice to the shake and it'll be fine.
