Expert Tips
- I suggest using a frozen banana! To freeze bananas, peel them first and cut them into halves or slices before freezing in an airtight container or freezer bag.
- Be sure to use a protein powder that you like the taste of!
- Add the liquid to your blender first to help everything blend smoothly.
- Refrigerator - if you want to make this Banana Date Smoothie in advance, store it in an airtight container like a mason jar for up to 1-2 days.
- Freezer - you can store this smoothie in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours or add it back to your blender with a bit more milk.
