Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional for a colder smoothie)
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the ripe bananas, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. If desired, add the ice cubes for a colder and thicker smoothie experience.
- Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the smoothie becomes smooth, creamy, and well combined, with no lumps remaining.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie to check the sweetness and cinnamon flavor, adjusting by adding a bit more honey/maple syrup or cinnamon if preferred.

Notes
- For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender.
- Swap Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt to make it vegan.
- Use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones for a thicker, colder smoothie texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of choice.
