- Frozen fruit can thicken it significantly. Just add a splash more milk or water and blend again.
Creamy Blueberry Banana Smoothie
A smoothie is more than just a shake; it's a complete breakfast in a glass. The banana provides sweetness and starch, creating a thick, creamy texture that mimics ice cream without the dairy. The blueberries add antioxidants, while the almond milk keeps it light and nutty.
