Notes
* Use an overripe banana to enhance the natural sweetness of the smoothie. I like to toss those spotty bananas sitting on the counter right into the freezer before they go bad.* Use a powerful blender. This will help break down the frozen fruit to make a thick and creamy smoothie.* You can use black or white chia seeds, but white will provide a more neutral colour with no black specks floating around.*If you prefer a sweeter smoothie or use an unflavoured protein powder, you may wish to add a bit of honey, maple syrup or other desired sweetener to the smoothie.
