Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative
4–5 ice cubes (optional)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Peel 1–2 ripe bananas. Use frozen banana slices if you prefer a thicker smoothie.
Pour 1 cup of milk or a dairy-free alternative into the blender.
Add the bananas and any optional ingredients like honey or ice.
Blend for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Adjust texture if needed by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more banana/ice for thickness.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for a thicker texture without ice. You can substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Add oats, peanut butter, or chia seeds for extra nutrition and fullness. Avoid over-blending to keep the smoothie cool and creamy.
