Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1-2 pieces ripe bananas The browner, the sweeter.
  • 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut) Choose based on your mood.
  • 1 handful ice For a frosty texture.
Optional Additions
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter Adds creaminess and protein.
  • 1 pinch cinnamon For added flavor.
  • 1 splash vanilla extract Enhances sweetness.
  • 1 drizzle honey or maple syrup If needed for additional sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dump all ingredients into your blender.
  2. Blend until smooth (about 30-45 seconds).
  3. Taste-test and adjust thickness with more ice or banana as desired.

Notes

For best results, freeze ripe bananas ahead of time for a shop-quality creamy texture. Use cold milk or add ice for a nice chilly smoothie. If your blender isn't very powerful, slice bananas before freezing to make blending easier. Taste as you go and adjust to your preference.
