Notes

Swap almond butter for peanut butter for a more classic banana-nutty flavor.
Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese if that’s what you have on hand.
Add a handful of spinach or kale to sneak in some greens—your tastebuds won’t even notice.
Toss in a scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra protein boost.
Top it with granola and enjoy it as a smoothie bowl.
This smoothie is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a shake before drinking. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays, then re-blend with a splash of almond milk for a quick smoothie later.
