Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the sliced banana, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, and Greek yogurt.
Add the milk to the blender. You can use almond milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
Pour in the honey and vanilla extract, adding a touch of sweetness and flavor complexity.
Add the ice cubes last to keep the smoothie chilled and thick.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again until desired consistency is reached.
Once blended, taste and adjust sweetness, adding more honey if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best texture.
