Absolutely! You can use your favorite store-bought variety or homemade. It’s easy, learn how to make your own oat milk from scratch with just water and oats.

Can I use frozen bananas for smoothies?

Yes, freezing your bananas before adding them to the smoothies make the drink colder, thicker, and like a milkshake.

If you have leftover smoothie, pour it into an airtight container with a lid (I like using a mason jar) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Expert Tips
