Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana, pure vanilla extract, peppermint 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/frozen banana slices if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

If peppermint extract is too strong, start with half the amount and adjust to taste. Frozen spinach or kale can be added for a green twist without altering the peppermint flavor significantly.
