NOTES
- Use a fully frozen banana for the best thick and creamy texture. Fresh bananas will make the smoothie thin.
- Do not skip the pinch of salt. It enhances all the flavors and makes the smoothie taste more balanced.
- Adjust consistency as needed. Add a splash of milk to thin it out or extra ice or banana to make it thicker.
