Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, honey or maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, 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. 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

Toast the pecans lightly before blending for a deeper praline flavor. You can substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option.
