Instructions:
- Peel the banana and break it into chunks to facilitate blending.
- Add 2 cups of water into a blender.
- Add the banana chunks to the blender.
- Scoop one serving (about 30g) of whey protein powder and add it to the blender.
- Cover the blender with its lid and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the smoothie achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
- If the smoothie is thicker than you prefer, you can add a little more water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Tips:
- For a creamier texture, use cold water or substitute 1 cup of water with 1 cup of milk or a dairy-free alternative.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra nutritional boost without altering the taste significantly.
- Blend in a few ice cubes for a colder, more refreshing smoothie.
- Consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Use ripe bananas as they are sweeter and blend more smoothly.
