Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the ripe bananas, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into your blender. Adding all these ingredients ensures the smoothie will have a rich, balanced flavor with creamy and spicy notes.
  2. Add Ice Cubes: Add the 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the blender to give the smoothie a chilled, thicker texture that feels refreshing with every sip.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until it’s smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined without chunks.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Carefully taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or maple syrup. For stronger spice, sprinkle in a touch more cinnamon. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best fresh flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt such as coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder to make it an ideal post-workout recovery drink.
  • Include a tablespoon of peanut butter for extra richness and a boost of healthy fats and protein.
