Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen banana, caramel sauce, honey or maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt.
- Add the ice cubes last.
- 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 too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen banana for natural creaminess and sweetness. To make it vegan, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use maple syrup instead of honey.
