  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavour)

Instructions

  • Add frozen banana, yogurt, protein powder, hemp seeds and milk to a blender.

    Taste and add vanilla extract if using.

    Notes
    Use less milk for spoonable smoothie bowl texture.
    Use more milk for drinkable smoothie texture.
    Sweeten with a date or drizzle of honey if banana isn’t ripe enough.
    Best enjoyed fresh.
    Blended Bites Tip 💡
    For the thickest, creamiest result, use banana slices that were frozen when perfectly ripe. Overripe bananas are sweeter and blend beautifully. If your blender struggles, let the banana sit out for 3–5 minutes first.
