RECIPE NOTES:
1. To make your smoothies healthier, add two teaspoons of flax seeds. Make sure to blend them for 30 seconds so that they are coarsely ground. Remember to blend flaxseeds before blitzing the ingredients for a smoothie.
2. To make your smoothie fat-free, substitute plain yogurt with low-fat yogurt.
3. In place of cinnamon, you can also add nutmeg if you desire.
4. To make your smoothie extra-chilled, add four ice cubes or half a cup of ice is more than enough.
5. To make super thick smoothies, all you have to do is freeze your bananas.
6. You can remove honey if you do not want your smoothie to be sweet, as sugars in the bananas are more than enough.
7. In place of plain yogurt, you can use any flavored yogurt.
SUGGESTIONS FOR STORING BANANA YOGURT SMOOTHIE:
Banana yogurt smoothie will remain in the refrigerator for a day. If you keep it in the fridge for too long, then the smoothie's taste will change, and bananas will turn into a brown color, making your drink a little less appealing.
