FAQs
Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
Using fresh bananas will result in a thinner smoothie. You can add ice cubes or more frozen fruit to achieve a thicker texture.
Is Greek yogurt necessary?
Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but you can substitute with regular yogurt or a non-dairy alternative if preferred.
