Ingredients

• 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 whole frozen banana
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons natural almond butter
• 4 cubes ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Peel the banana and cut it into chunks if not already prepped.

Step 2

Add the unsweetened almond milk to a blender. This will help to loosen the thicker ingredients and blend smoothly.

Step 3

Add the frozen banana pieces into the blender.

Step 4

Scoop in the vanilla protein powder, ensuring an even spread over the banana pieces for better mixing.

Step 5

Measure and add the Greek yogurt to the blender. This contributes to the creaminess and boosts the protein content.

Step 6

Drop in the natural almond butter, which adds healthy fats and a rich flavor.

Step 7

Add the ice cubes to help thicken the smoothie and give it a frosty texture.

Step 8

Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Step 9

Taste the smoothie and adjust with additional almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired or more protein powder for additional flavor and thickness.

Step 10

Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Feel free to customize with add-ins like chia seeds, spinach, or berries for added nutritional benefits.
