Notes

• Consistency: to make thicker add additional ice cubes; to make thinner add additional almond milk or water
• Chocolate Protein/Collagen: adding collage to your smoothies not only has some amazing health benefits, but it also makes your smoothie extra creamy and smooth! Here is a my favorite chocolate collagen powder (use TWS10 for 10% off!)
• Make Ahead: toss your frozen banana, sunflower seeds, and zucchini to a freezer safe storage bag.  Then add that the blender along with your smoothie ice cubes and remaining ingredients!
