Instructions
- Pour the milk into a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt.
- Add the ice cubes on top.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on high for 35 to 50 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Check the smoothie consistency. If too thick, blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen banana and blend again.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen banana to achieve creamy thickness without extra ice. Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
