Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of yogurt or a handful of ice to the blender. If bananas aren't available, you can substitute with 1/4 cup of applesauce for a similar sweetness. Adjust the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey if desired. For a fun twist, try blending in a handful of spinach for added nutrients without altering the flavor too much.

Consider garnishing with a slice of orange or banana on the rim for an appealing presentation.
