Chef's Note

For the best texture and temperature, freeze your banana chunks ahead of time. This eliminates the need for as much ice, resulting in a creamier, more flavorful smoothie that won't dilute as it melts. For maximum protein absorption, enjoy this smoothie within 30 minutes after an intense workout.
