Notes

Zucchini is mild and easily disguised by fruit, making this smoothie great for picky eaters.
You can freeze the banana for an even creamier texture.
For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 12 hours, shake or stir before serving.
