Notes

I highly recommend using frozen bananas if possible. They will make the smoothie creamier. You can easily freeze your own whenever they turn brown: remove their peels and store in bags/containers in the freezer. If you only have fresh bananas, that's fine too, just know that your smoothie won't be as cold.
To make your smoothie more filling, feel free to add some nuts or nut-butter, pumpkin seed butter for a nut-free option, vegan yogurt, rolled oats (soak in the milk for 10-15 minutes prior to blending) or simply add more hemp seeds.
