Notes

EXPERT KITCHEN TIPS

Blending - Always put liquids at the bottom of your blender. This helps the blade turn easily, which results in a smoother blend.

Make ahead - you can make chocolate protein smoothie packs to throw in the blender. Just dice your banana, and include all ingredients except for the almond milk on a zipper bag. Freeze. When ready to use just add your liquid and blend. Skip the ice cubes because everything will be nice and cold already.
