Chef's Note
For the best texture, freeze the banana chunks ahead of time along with your berries. This creates a thicker, creamier smoothie without diluting the flavors with too much ice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk. The MCT oil adds healthy fats without affecting the flavor, making this smoothie perfect for sustained energy.
