American · Beverage · 5 min total

A versatile smoothie base that can be customized with your favorite fruits and add-ins. Perfect for a quick, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 medium banana, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup frozen fruit (e.g., berries, mango, or peaches)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Add milk, yogurt, banana, frozen fruit, and sweetener (if using) to a blender.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
3. If too thick, add more milk a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
4. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Tips

• For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.
• To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking.
