Recipe Note
- This smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to start your day or a great mid-day pick-me-up. The combination of frozen banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, and milk or milk alternative provides a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats. The cinnamon and honey or maple syrup add a touch of natural sweetness, and the cinnamon also provides added health benefits.
- You can adjust the ingredients to your liking, for example if you want a sweeter smoothie, add more honey or maple syrup or if you want it thicker you can add more frozen fruits or yogurt.
- Also, this recipe can be vegan just by using a non-dairy milk alternative and skipping the yogurt.
- This recipe is a good source of vitamin C, calcium, and potassium. And it's low in cholesterol and saturated fat, but it's high in sugar if you use more than a tsp of honey. You can also adjust the ingredients to your liking and make it less sweet if you prefer.
