Notes

Start blending with liquids first to help blades move freely. Pulse frozen berries before full speed to protect blender motor. Add almond milk gradually if smoothie is too thick. Use banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; stir before drinking. Avoid reheating or freezing after blending.
