Notes

  1. Milk: Use regular cow’s milk or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
  2. Bananas: Use fully-ripe or slightly overripe bananas (brown spots mean naturally sweet!). See Recipe FAQs for tips on how to ripen bananas in your oven. Bananas can then be peeled and frozen (for the best texture in your smoothie, frozen bananas are a must!).
  3. Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ c. Greek yogurt.
  4. Yield: This recipe makes about 2 c. of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
  5. Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
