Notes
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie. Spotty bananas are ideal as you won’t need added sugar.
Blend chia seeds with the other ingredients to avoid a gritty texture.
For a thicker smoothie, let it sit for 5–10 minutes after blending.
Add ice or frozen banana for a cold and creamy texture.
If your smoothie is too thick, add a splash of milk or water.
If your smoothie is too thin, add more banana or chia seeds and let it sit for a few minutes.
