- 1 medium Fresh banana
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Natural almond butter
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
1. Gather all the ingredients and ensure the fruit is prepped if not already prepared (e.g., peel the banana).
