Creamy Banana Breakfast Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas (frozen bananas make it extra creamy)

2 cups milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk all work great)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for added protein and thickness)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for a warm flavor)

1 cup ice cubes (only if using fresh bananas)

Instructions

Prep the Bananas: Peel the bananas and break them into smaller chunks to help your blender process them smoothly.

Combine: Add the milk, yogurt, banana chunks, sweetener, and vanilla into your blender.

Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.

Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you prefer it thicker, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.

Serve: Pour into tall glasses (just like the ones in your photo!) and enjoy immediately.

Quick Tips for the Best Smoothie

Spotty is Better: Use bananas with brown spots on the peel; they are much sweeter and easier to blend.

Nutrient Boost: You can easily add a tablespoon of flax seeds, chia seeds, or peanut butter without changing the color too much.
