Healthy Whole Milk Banana Smoothie recipe

Need a quick nutritious breakfast or a healthy dessert? This smoothie offers the creamy texture and flavor of a milkshake with the health benefits of whole milk and fruit. It provides plenty of protein, fiber, and potassium.  And, it will use up those overripe bananas that you tossed in the freezer. Dress it up with some berries, fresh or frozen, or add some chia or flaxseeds.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk 

  • 1 large, ripe frozen banana

  • 1 tsp honey

  • Sprinkle of cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Pour milk into a blender.

  2. Cut banana into quarters. 

  3. Add banana and honey to the blender, along with any extra fruit or seeds.

  4. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds. If not yet smooth, pulse at 15 second intervals until it reaches the desired consistency.

  5. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve immediately.
