Greek Yogurt Banana Smoothie (Print Version)

Creamy blend of ripe banana and Greek yogurt, ready in minutes.

# What You Need:

01 - 2 medium ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

02 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (240 g)

03 - 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) (120 ml)

04 - 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste

05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

07 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds

08 - Ice cubes (optional)

01 - Place the bananas, Greek yogurt, milk, and optional sweetener into a blender container.

02 - Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, seeds, and ice cubes if using a thicker consistency.

03 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 45-60 seconds.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Add additional milk for a thinner consistency.

05 - Pour evenly into two glasses and serve right away for optimal texture and temperature.

01 -

Takes exactly five minutes from counter to cup, which matters when everyone is rushing
The Greek yogurt makes it thick enough to feel like a milkshake without being heavy

02 -

Frozen bananas transform this from good to milkshake thick—just slice and freeze the night before
Overblending makes smoothies warm and thin, so stop as soon as everything is combined

03 -

Start with less liquid than you think you need—easier to thin than to thicken
A drop of almond extract instead of vanilla completely changes the flavor profile
