Storage: The smoothie is best enjoyed immediately. To store it for later, keep it in the fridge in an airtight container (like a mason jar). Enjoy within 48 hours.
Thicker Smoothie: For a thicker smoothie, omit the ice and use frozen fruit instead. Make sure the banana and watermelon is frozen in slices.
Sweeter Smoothie: If you want a sweeter smoothie, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, or add additional banana.
Additional Mix-Ins: You can blend chia seeds, nut butter, collagen powder, oats, protein powder, or other ingredients into the smoothie to add more protein, fiber, or healthy fats if desired.
