Notes

  • This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • For a thicker consistency, use a frozen banana or add more oats.
  • Customize with spinach or berries for extra nutrients.
  • Consider using chia seeds instead of flax seeds for a different texture.
  • Freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays for a quick future smoothie option.
