Chef's Note
For the best texture, freeze your banana chunks ahead of time. This creates a thicker, creamier smoothie without diluting the flavors with extra ice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk. The combination of chia and flaxseed not only adds healthy omega-3 fatty acids but also creates a more satisfying texture that will keep you full longer.
