Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 2 ripe bananas Choose very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and softness.
  • 1 cup plain yogurt Use full-fat yogurt for a creamier texture; Greek yogurt can be used for added protein.
  • 1/2 cup milk Adjust the amount of milk for desired consistency.
  • 1 tablespoon honey Optional for added sweetness; adjust based on banana ripeness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor without adding texture.

Method
 

Prepare the Smoothie
  1. Peel the ripe bananas and break them into smaller pieces. This helps them blend more easily.
  2. In a blender, combine the banana pieces, yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed, then blend again briefly to mix.

Notes

Texture Tips: For the smoothest texture, ensure the bananas are very ripe and blend until fully emulsified. If a thicker texture is preferred, use less milk, but always ensure the final product is easy to sip. For an even softer option, you may puree the mixture until it reaches an ultra-smooth consistency.
This smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but if it thickens, simply stir in a little milk to loosen it before serving. Look for a creamy, lump-free consistency when finished.
