Notes

Slice the bananas before storing them in the in an airtight container or bag in the freezer. This will help them blend easier in the smoothie vs. throwing them in whole.
Add bananas first since they are the hardest to blend.
Make sure bananas are frozen so you don’t have to worry about adding ice, which dilutes the flavor.
