Instructions

Add the chilled espresso, milk, and peeled banana to a high-speed blender.
Add the caramel sauce, pure vanilla extract, and a small pinch of fine sea salt.
Add the ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk if the smoothie is too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. Pre-chilling the espresso helps keep the smoothie cold without diluting the flavor.
