Make a creamy, satisfying banana smoothie quickly. This recipe uses frozen banana for a thick texture, perfect for a fast breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large frozen bananas, broken into chunks
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana chunks, milk, vanilla extract, optional sweetener, and cinnamon into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, scraping down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Pour immediately into a glass and serve.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas for the best creamy, milkshake-thick texture.
  • For a protein banana smoothie boost, add 1 scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
  • To make this a dairy free banana smoothie, use almond milk or another non-dairy alternative.
  • If you prefer a no added sugar banana smoothie, omit the honey or maple syrup.
