Smoothie

Steps

In a blender, combine the banana, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, and coconut water.
Add bee pollen to the mixture for a boost of nutrients.
Blend until smooth, adding ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more banana or coconut water if desired.
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Tips for Tropical Banana Ricotta Smoothie

A ripe banana with brown speckles gives the smoothie a sweeter aroma and a fuller banana flavor.
For a smoother finish, use well-stirred peanut butter; separated oil can leave the texture uneven.
A tall glass and a wide straw make this thick smoothie easier to serve and sip.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, cover and refrigerate promptly, then drink within 24 hours; the texture may separate, so stir before serving.
