Dietitian Tips
- Freeze your banana ahead of time. A frozen banana makes the smoothie thicker and creamier — no ice needed, and it won’t dilute the flavour.
- Let it rest before drinking. If you have a minute, blend first then let it sit for 2–3 minutes — it thickens up nicely as the chia absorbs and may be easier to digest.
- Milk choice affects calories. Unsweetened almond milk keeps this around 346 cal; switching to 2% dairy brings it to about 406 cal with an extra 6g of protein.
