Notes
- Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Frozen bananas create a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.
- Opt for plain or vanilla Greek yogurt based on your flavor preference.
- Adjust amount of sweetener or omit it altogether depending on your taste and the ripeness of the bananas.
- Rolled oats add fiber and bulk, making the smoothie more filling and nutritious.
- For a dairy-free version, choose almond, oat, or soy milk and non-dairy yogurt.
