Instructions

Add the chilled espresso, milk, and banana to a high-speed blender.
Add the pure vanilla extract and fine sea salt.
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. 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 whole milk for creamier texture or substitute with a dairy-free milk. Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess that enhances the smoothie.
