Chef's Notes
This is a great, basic smoothie that makes it easy to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try carrots, peppers, or other veggies to boost the nutrients. Adding banana instead of ice will give your smoothie an even creamier texture. Spinach and other greens are classic smoothie add-ins, just remember that combining green and red ingredients can result in a brownish smoothie.
