Instructions
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt to the blender.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if the smoothie is too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana pieces if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fully frozen banana slices for a creamier texture. Substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free options.
