Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the frozen banana and pistachio butter.
Add honey or maple syrup and the small amount of fine sea salt, then add the vanilla extract.
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 frozen banana slices to avoid watering down the smoothie with too much ice. Substitute dairy milk with oat or almond milk for a dairy-free option.
