Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana and plain Greek yogurt.
Add the ice cubes, a pinch of fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana pieces if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Use a ripe banana and freeze it in advance for best texture. Substitute almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
