Notes

PLEASE NOTE NUTRITION FACTS ARE AN ESTIMATE ONLY. It's likely to vary significantly depending on the type of protein powder and the type of milk that you use.

When it comes to the ingredients, I also have a few tips for putting it together for the best result.

Use very ripe - preferably overripe - bananas for making smoothies, and freeze the banana first. (I keep a ziplock bag of frozen banana chunks in the freezer.) Overripe bananas have an incredibly sweet flavour, perfect for a smoothie, and when they’re frozen they’re going to give your smoothie an amazing consistency and also keep it really chilled.

Love a thick, ice-cold smoothie? Add in a few ice cubes before blending. Personally I LOVE this and will always add a few ice cubes.

Sources of healthy fats like avocado and tahini are what give this smoothie a really beautiful creamy finish. Don’t skip these ingredients! If you’re not a tahini fan, you could use almond butter or cashew butter instead.

I’ve mentioned using a vanilla flavoured protein powder for added sweetness, which is what I recommend. You can use a different flavour - like a salted caramel style would also work - or unflavoured, but I really think vanilla works the best.
