A calcium-packed, energizing breakfast to go. Prep tips: Customize this creamy, sweet smoothie with additional boosts; try a few spoonfuls of brown rice protein powder, raw almond butter, green foods powder, matcha green tea powder, or ground flaxseed. To freeze bananas, peel and slice; place in a plastic bag and freeze overnight. Freeze several to keep on hand for future smoothies.
