Ingredients
  

Smoothie Ingredients
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 medium Medium ripe banana, preferably frozen
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 to 1 cup Ice

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Add the almond milk to the blender first. Pouring in the liquid before the thicker ingredients helps the blades move freely and makes blending easier.
  2. Add the banana, Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice. Begin with 1/2 cup of ice if the banana is frozen, adding more later if you prefer a thicker drink.
  3. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Pause briefly to scrape down the sides if needed, then blend again.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust the texture. Add a little more almond milk to thin it, or add more ice or frozen banana to make it thicker.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. The smoothie is at its coldest, thickest, and freshest right after blending.

Notes

Use a frozen banana for the best creamy texture and a stronger banana flavor. For a vegan version, replace the Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt or use another 1/2 banana, and choose pure maple syrup or dates instead of honey.
