Notes
- To make your shake thicker, you could add some ice.
- If you want to make your shake ahead of time, it's better if you add the bananas and blend when you're ready to enjoy it.
- If you made your shake the night before and decided to add oats, make sure to add more milk in the morning as oats absorb a lot of the milk.
- This recipe calls for frozen bananas, so to do that, slice a large banana and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. It is recommended to leave it overnight.
