It comes together in literally five minutes, which is about how long my patience lasts before breakfast
The texture is like drinking a melted milkshake but without the sugar crash afterward

Frozen bananas completely transform the texture into something almost soft serve like

Preportion your ingredients into small bags and freeze them for instant weekday breakfasts
If your smoothie is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency
