Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 150g sliced banana, frozen for best results
  • 1/4 cup 60g Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1/4 cup 60ml milk, any type you prefer (dairy, almond, oat milk, etc.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon 1.25ml vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients: Make sure you have everything you need before starting, including a blender and measuring cups.
  2. Add ingredients to the blender: Place the frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) into the blender jar.
  3. Blend until smooth: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Adjust consistency (optional): If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  5. Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

Optional additions: For extra flavor or nutrients, you can add ingredients like:
    1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries
    1/4 cup chopped spinach
    1 scoop protein powder
    1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
    1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds
    Honey or maple syrup to taste

Additional Tips: 

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Freeze your bananas in advance for a thicker smoothie.
  • Start with less liquid and add more as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Don't over-blend, as this can make the smoothie frothy.
  • Enjoy your smoothie immediately for the best taste and texture.
