Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 150 g mixed berries
- 200 ml milk or plant milk
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tsp (optional) honey
Instructions
- Peel one ripe banana, break it into chunks, and ideally use it frozen for the creamiest texture.
- Add the banana to a blender along with one cup of mixed frozen berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Pour in three quarters of a cup of milk or a dairy-free alternative to help everything blend smoothly.
- Add a tablespoon of yogurt and a drizzle of honey if you want extra creaminess and sweetness.
- Blend on high for forty-five to sixty seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until completely smooth with no chunks remaining.
- Check the consistency and add a splash more milk if it is too thick to pour, then blend briefly again.
- Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately while cold and frothy for the best texture.
💡 Chef's tip
Use a frozen banana instead of ice, because freezing the fruit gives the smoothie a thick, creamy milkshake-like texture without watering down the flavor the way melting ice does.
Using a frozen banana instead of ice keeps the smoothie thick and cold without watering down the flavor the way melting ice does.
