Notes
*Nutritional information is calculated using online tools and is provided as a courtesy. The values can vary depending on which ingredients and brands are used.
- Slice fresh bananas and store them in the freezer for easy retrieval whenever the desire to make a smoothie strikes.
- If you don’t have dried dates on hand, feel free to replace with a tablespoon of maple syrup.
- You can omit the date entirely, but the earthy, natural sweetness does counteract the slight tartness of the Greek yogurt.
- When fresh blackberries and strawberries are in season, they can be obtained at a cheaper price. Buy extra and freeze for later use in smoothies!
- If you are looking for higher protein content, add a tablespoon of unsweetened peanut butter before blending.
