Notes
If you want a creamier smoothie, choose creamy fresh fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and avocados (yes, avocados are a fruit!).
Be careful with the leafy greens you choose! Some can be very bitter. Spinach impacts the flavor the least. Kale and herbs are stronger. Hint: banana helps mask the flavor!
