Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen banana, plain Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, 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 the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices and blend again.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use ripe frozen banana slices to add natural sweetness without extra sugar. For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
