Notes
I recommend organic produce free of chemicals and pesticides, whenever possible.
Can I use a food processor to make this smoothie? Yes, if you don’t have a super blender, a food processor can be used to prepare this smoothie.
What's the best way to freeze bananas? When you have overripe bananas on your hands, don’t toss them away. Peel them, chop into halves or chunks, and flash freeze them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet for about two hours. This is so that they don’t freeze into one big clump.
Then, you can transfer them to a zip lock freezer bag and they won’t stick together. They’ll keep in your freezer for about 6 months to use in smoothies or baking as needed.
Can I substitute ingredients in the Brain Power Smoothie recipe? Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different berries, nuts, or even alternative milk options to suit your taste preferences and dietary requirements.
Are there any potential side effects of consuming Ginkgold? Ginkgo biloba may interact with certain medications, so it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before adding Ginkgold to your diet, especially if you're on any prescription drugs.
Can I make the Brain Power Smoothie ahead of time? While it's best to consume the smoothie immediately to retain maximum nutrient content, you can prepare the ingredients in advance and blend them just before consumption for convenience.
Can I store leftover Brain Power Smoothie in the fridge? Yes, you can store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before consuming to remix the ingredients.
Can I freeze the smoothie for later consumption?
Yes! Even freezing it in popsicle molds will make a refreshing pop for those hot summer days.
