Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas, frozen
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the frozen bananas, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into a blender.
- Add chia seeds if you are using them for extra nutrition.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour immediately into a glass and serve.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use only frozen bananas and reduce the initial amount of milk.
- To make a peanut butter banana smoothie, add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter before blending.
- For a vegan banana smoothie, use a non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk.
- If your bananas are not frozen, add 4-5 ice cubes for a colder, thicker texture.
