Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, protein powder, honey, 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 consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture. To make ahead, prepare without ice and freeze the smoothie in an ice cube tray for quick blending later.
