Instructions

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

Tips

Use frozen banana slices to avoid watering down the smoothie. Substitute any plain yogurt with dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan.
