For an extra boost of nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed meal. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a touch of honey, maple syrup, or a couple of dates. Experiment with different leafy greens, such as spinach or kale, for a variety of nutrients and flavors. Adjust the amount of frozen fruit to customize the sweetness and thickness of the smoothie. Make this smoothie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack. If you don't have frozen fruit, you can use fresh fruit, but you may need to add a few ice cubes to achieve the desired consistency.
