Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, fresh lemon juice, a pinch of fine sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pure 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. 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

For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond milk or oat milk. Using a frozen banana gives the smoothie a thick, creamy texture without added sugar.
