Notes
Frozen banana : A frozen banana is preferred for this recipe but not required. A room temperature banana will work just as well. The benefit of a frozen banana is a little added creaminess and it will make the smoothie cold. I recommend slicing up a banana into chunks and storing it in a zip lock bag in the freezer. It will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer so I'm known to always have one on hand.
Almond butter subs : If desired, you can substitute the almond butter for any nut butter like cashew, pecan, or peanut butter.
