Instructions
- Add milk to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, plain Greek yogurt, a small pinch of fine sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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 and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamier texture. For a vegan version, substitute milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
