The texture is set by the banana and the milk.
A very ripe banana brings sweetness and creaminess with no added sugar. Adjust the milk depending on whether you want it to drink or to spoon. The almond butter, beyond its roundness, helps you hold out until the next meal.
Freeze the banana ahead for a fresher, thicker smoothie, with no ice cubes.
