Notes

Top tips

Freeze bananas in advance to help keep the smoothie cold! The riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie!
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries, but I typically use frozen because they are less expensive, don't go bad overnight and help to make the smoothie ice cold when blending.
If you don't have frozen berries, you can add 1/2+ cup of ice to the blender to ensure it gets thick and cold.
If chia seeds get stuck in your teeth you can blend them in a high speed blender to make ground chia seeds. Store these in the fridge up to 3 months.

Storing leftovers

Fridge: leftover or extra strawberry banana chocolate smoothie can be stored in a well-sealed glass or container for 24-48 hours. You may notice the smoothie starting to separate, just stir it with a spoon and it will blend right back together.
Freezer: you can pour leftover smoothie into ice cube molds to freeze them. Then you can use these frozen smoothie cubes to make a quick and easy smoothie when you don’t feel like measuring out ingredients, just add water or dairy free milk and blend up.
Freezer: you can also pour leftover chocolate strawberry banana smoothie into popsicle molds! These are even better if you add some avocado to the smoothie before freezing.
