Notes
- Use frozen fruit for the thickest, coldest texture. No need to add extra ice.
- Blend on high speed and scrape down the sides as needed to get it perfectly smooth.
- Taste and adjust sweetness depending on how ripe your banana is. Sometimes less honey is more.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Shake or stir well before drinking since it may separate or thicken slightly.
- For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays or portions for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight or re-blend with a splash of milk.
