Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, honey, a pinch of fine sea salt, and vanilla extract 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. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Using frozen banana instead of fresh gives a thicker, creamier texture without the need for many ice cubes. For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
