Notes
- Serving Size: 1 shake (about 12 to 14 ounces)
- Use frozen ripe bananas for the creamiest texture.
- Adjust the amount of milk depending on how thick you like your shake.
- Taste before adding maple syrup, as ripe bananas and protein powder may provide enough sweetness.
- Add spinach, berries, oats, chia seeds, or flaxseed for extra nutrition.
- This shake is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based protein powder.
