Ingredients
This smoothie is made with just 4 basic ingredients that are easy to find in most any grocery store. An additional sweetener such as maple syrup can be added if you prefer it a bit sweeter.
- Frozen banana for creaminess and sweetness
- lemon juice and zest for that lemony flavor
- Frozen almond milk for coolness
- A touch of maple syrup for sweetness, optional
See recipe card for quantities.
We think the recipe as written is just right, but you can adjust the amounts to suit your tastes, of course. Like it a bit more tart, add more lemon juice and zest or a little sweeter, add a bit of maple syrup.
You can also add an unflavored or vanilla protein powder to make this smoothie more substantial and nutrient packed. This is something I do with my youngest, on the advice of her doctor, since we are going through a picky stage and many foods are a no-go with her.
Equipment
You'll need a blender to make this smoothie. A high speed model such as Vitamix or Ninja will work the best.
Storage
This smoothie is best enjoyed right away. We don't recommend storing.
