Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or mixed)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place banana slices and frozen berries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- Transfer frozen fruit to a blender. Add yogurt (or milk), honey (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. For a smoothie, blend until creamy. For a slushie, pulse until icy and slushy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a thicker smoothie, use less liquid or add more frozen fruit.
- To make ahead, store frozen fruit in a zip-top bag. Blend when ready.
- Add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie without altering flavor much.
