Notes

Using frozen bananas gives the smoothie a creamy texture without needing ice.
Almond butter adds healthy fats and creaminess; natural peanut butter can be a substitute.
Adjust almond milk quantity for desired thickness.
The collagen protein powder is optional but helps increase protein content.
Whole flax seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; ground flaxseed can be used for easier digestion.
