Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low speed 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 additional milk if the smoothie is too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if it is too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and a creamy texture. Substitute almond or oat milk for a different flavor or to make it dairy-free (adjust diet tags accordingly).
