Banana Smoothie Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n- Milk:<\/strong> A bit of 2% milk makes this banana smoothie recipe creamy and flavorful.<\/li>\n
- Bananas:<\/strong> Brown-spotted ripe bananas are key here. They\u2019re more sugary and flavorful than yellow or green bananas.<\/li>\n
- Honey:<\/strong> As a natural sweetener, honey is the perfect ingredient to make our wholesome banana smoothie recipe even more delicious.<\/li>\n
- Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Just a dash of vanilla extract imparts gorgeous floral notes in this smoothie, making it taste a bit more like banana bread!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Blend the ingredients<\/h3>\n
Combine the milk, bananas, honey and vanilla extract in the blender. Blend on high until you reach a smooth consistency. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to incorporate anything that\u2019s stuck to the blender walls.<\/p>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nPour the smoothie evenly into three chilled tall glasses. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n
Banana Smoothie Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Add a bit of chocolate:<\/strong> Want to get indulgent? Make a chocolate-banana smoothie! Increase the milk to 3 cups, and add 1\/2 cup chocolate syrup.<\/li>\n
- Swap out the bananas:<\/strong> If you\u2019re not a banana fan, make a fruity strawberry-peach smoothie instead. Substitute 1 cup each of frozen strawberries and sliced peaches for the bananas. Add 1\/4 cup orange juice. Reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.<\/li>\n
- Amp up the protein:<\/strong> A spoonful of peanut butter, yogurt, protein powder or chia seeds will bump up the protein in this banana smoothie.<\/li>\n
- Make it heartier:<\/strong> For a more filling smoothie, blend in 1\/2 cup instant oats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Store a Banana Smoothie<\/h2>\n
If you have leftovers, you can store them in the freezer for up to three days, but we highly recommend enjoying these smoothies immediately.<\/p>\n

Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCan you use frozen bananas instead of fresh?<\/h3>\n
Absolutely! If you prefer a thicker smoothie, this is one of the quickest changes to make. It’s quite easy to freeze bananas<\/a>!<\/p>\nCan you make this banana smoothie recipe vegan?<\/h3>\n
Yes, you can make this banana smoothie recipe vegan. Swap out the 2% milk for your favorite dairy-free milk alternative<\/a> (we’d recommend almond milk or coconut milk). In place of the honey, use maple syrup or date syrup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Refreshing, creamy and brimming with banana, our banana smoothie is the ultimate wholesome

What else can you add to a banana smoothie?<\/h3>If you ask me, one of the best flavor combinations out there is peanut butter and banana, so I like to add a spoonful of peanut butter to a banana smoothie. Or pull inspiration from our banana dessert recipes<\/a> and sprinkle in chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, oats or coconut. If you're looking to add protein, try one of these easy ways to add protein to smoothies<\/a>, such as a scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder or chia seeds. Here are more sweet smoothie variations:
<\/div>- Chocolate banana smoothies:<\/b> Increase milk to 3 cups and add 1\/2 cup chocolate syrup. <\/li>
- Strawberry peach smoothies:<\/b> Substitute 1 cup each frozen strawberries and sliced peaches for the bananas. Add 1\/4 cup orange juice. Decrease honey to 2 tablespoons. <\/li>
- Lemon cheesecake smoothies:<\/b> Blend 8 ounces softened cream cheese with the milk; add 3 cups lemon sherbet and blend until smooth.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>
Can you use frozen bananas instead of fresh?<\/h3>Absolutely! If you prefer a thicker smoothie, this is the one of the easiest changes to make\u2014and it's easy to freeze bananas<\/a>. Can you make this banana smoothie recipe vegan?<\/h3>If you're looking to turn this into a vegan recipe<\/a>, swap out the 2% milk for your favorite dairy-free milk alternative<\/a>. We'd recommend almond milk or coconut milk. In place of the honey, use maple syrup or date syrup.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Blend the ingredients<\/h3>\n
Combine the milk, bananas, honey and vanilla extract in the blender. Blend on high until you reach a smooth consistency. You may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to incorporate anything that\u2019s stuck to the blender walls.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Check out our Test Kitchen’s picks for the best blender<\/a>, and see what difference a solid motor and set of blades can do for your smoothies!<\/p>\n Pour the smoothie evenly into three chilled tall glasses. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n If you have leftovers, you can store them in the freezer for up to three days, but we highly recommend enjoying these smoothies immediately.<\/p>\n Absolutely! If you prefer a thicker smoothie, this is one of the quickest changes to make. It’s quite easy to freeze bananas<\/a>!<\/p>\n Yes, you can make this banana smoothie recipe vegan. Swap out the 2% milk for your favorite dairy-free milk alternative<\/a> (we’d recommend almond milk or coconut milk). In place of the honey, use maple syrup or date syrup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Refreshing, creamy and brimming with banana, our banana smoothie is the ultimate wholesome
