Peanut butter, banana and flax green smoothie FAQ:

How long can I store the Peanut Butter, Banana, and Flax Green Smoothie?

The smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent separation, give it a good shake or stir before drinking.

Can I substitute almond milk with another type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any other dairy or non-dairy milk, such as soy milk, oat milk, or regular cow's milk, depending on your dietary preferences.

What can I use instead of flaxseed in this smoothie?

You can substitute flaxseed with chia seeds or hemp seeds for a similar nutritional boost. If you prefer not to add any seeds, you can simply leave it out.

How can I tell if the banana is ripe enough for the smoothie?

Choose a banana that is mostly yellow with some brown spots. This indicates it’s sweet and has a good flavor for blending.

What if my smoothie is too thick?

If your smoothie is too thick, add a bit more almond milk or water gradually until you reach your desired consistency.

Tips:

- Use a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth consistency.

- For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana.

- You can add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder drink.

- To make it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or a couple of dates.

- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or regular milk.
