Prepare Your Ingredients:

Blend It Up:

-
Customise Your Smoothie: Feel free to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Add more maple syrup for extra sweetness or adjust the amount of coffee for a stronger or milder flavour.
-
Boost Your Nutrition: You can enhance the nutritional profile of this smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or kale for some greens, or toss in some chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.

Make It Your Own: Experiment with different toppings for your smoothie. Try sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra richness.

Prep Ahead: You can pre-portion and freeze the banana chunks in advance for quick and easy smoothie preparation on busy mornings.
