Why Do You Add Bananas to Smoothies?

Bananas are a smoothie game-changer for several reasons. 

First: natural sweetness! No need for any added sugars! 

Second: their creamy texture helps create that rich, smooth consistency. 

And finally: bananas are packed with nutrients like potassium, fiber, and vitamin C!

And who can say no to getting more nutrients in their diet if it tastes this good?

You can actually choose from a bunch of different powders. Whey, soy, or a plant-based protein. It doesn’t matter! 

Just add a scoop to the blender with the other ingredients.
