Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, pure vanilla extract, and 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 and blend in additional milk (1–2 tablespoons) if too thick, or add a few extra ice cubes or frozen banana slices if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen banana slices to keep the smoothie chilled and thick. Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
