Banana smoothie
Instructions
Tips
Save time and prepare ahead! Banana smoothies can be made in advance and left to sit in the fridge for about ½ hour. Blend the mixture for a few seconds right before serving. A pro tip is to freeze the banana before adding it to the blender with the other ingredients. It will make the drink cool and frothy and increase its thickness. If you peel and slice the bananas before freezing, they will blend more easily. We recommend going with ripe bananas, which have more flavour to them. But if you find yourself with a drink that is too sweet for your liking, you can add a bit more lime juice to balance it.

Creamy banana smoothie with yoghurt
Bananas are a go-to for smoothies as they blend easily and provide a deliciously creamy texture when blended with Greek yoghurt. The long yellow fruit brings the perfect amount of sweetness to the Greek yoghurt banana smoothie. We suggest you pick ripe bananas with brown spots on the yellow peel. They provide a ton of taste to the smoothie and balance the tangy yoghurt flavour. A splash of lime juice adds a fresh kick to the cold drink and ties all the flavours together.

You cannot go wrong with this simple and deliciously fresh drink. The ice cubes are crushed in the blender and provide the fruity beverage with a chilled quality.

Make a chai banana smoothie
So many flavours are so delicious with banana, and chai spices are one of them. Shake up the recipe and make a chai banana smoothie with warm exotic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and ground black pepper. Use only ½-1 teaspoon of each as a start, and a bit less of the most potent ones like ginger and nutmeg and add a bit more if you feel like it. The best banana chai smoothie has a balanced spiciness that adds a small kick to the sweet and creamy banana. For a luxurious touch, finish with homemade caramel sauce drizzled on top with a few slices of fresh banana and a light sprinkle of chopped dark chocolate.
