Notes

IMPORTANT CONSISTENCY NOTE – READ BEFORE BEGINNING: As written, the smoothie is very thick. If you'd like a thinner smoothie, you can easily use less ice! Feel free to adjust the amount of ice to suit your preferences.
 
IMPORTANT FLAVOR NOTE – READ BEFORE BEGINNING: Before pouring your smoothie into a glass, take a quick taste to make sure it’s sweet enough for your liking. Some blueberries can be on the tart side, which can greatly affect the sweetness level of this smoothie! If it's not sweet enough for you, add a bit of sweetener (I like this liquid stevia or this granulated sweetener), pulse again, and take another sample.
 
BLENDER NOTE: For the best smooth and creamy consistency, use a high quality blender with really sharp blades. I love my Ninja! It’s really affordable compared to some high-end brands, and it’s very durable too.
 
BANANA NOTES: Slicing it makes it easier to blend, and the smaller chunks often freeze faster too. Make sure your banana is ripe before freezing! Pure yellow and speckled bananas have more natural sweetness and also yield a better smoothie consistency.
 
GREEK YOGURT NOTES: For the best results, use Greek yogurt that only contains milk and live and/or active cultures. It tends to be the thickest and creamiest, which yields the best consistency. I love FAGE plain nonfat Greek yogurt! (See the "Greek yogurt" header in the "Ingredients to Make a Healthy Blueberry Banana Protein Smoothie" section above for more info.)
 
If you're not a fan of plain Greek yogurt, you can easily substitute another flavor of Greek yogurt instead (ie vanilla, blueberry, banana, etc).
 
MILK ALTERNATIVES: Any milk may be substituted in place of the unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
 
NUT-FREE OPTION: Substitute your preferred nut-free milk in place of the unsweetend vanilla almond milk.
