Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Banana-Paneer Smoothie:

For a thicker smoothie, use less milk or add a frozen banana.
Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. The natural sweetness of the banana may be enough for some.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits and add-ins, such as mango, berries, or spinach for extra nutrients.
If you don't have thickened milk, full-fat milk or even plant-based milk alternatives work well.
