  • Ripe bananas make it naturally sweet and creamy while packing in potassium
  • It comes together in literally five minutes with zero cooking required
02 -

  • The longer it sits, the more it separates, so drink it right after blending
03 -
  • Pre portion sliced bananas in freezer bags so you're always ready to blend
  • Invest in a blender tamper stick if you make thick smoothies regularly—it saves so much frustration
  • If your matcha tastes bitter, your water or milk might be too hot—keep everything cold
