Instructions
Preparation Steps
Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a blender, then add banana slices and ice on top.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 45 to 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
Taste and adjust: add more milk to thin, a few ice cubes to thicken, or a little extra honey for sweetness.
Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired.
Notes
For dairy-free, use almond milk and a dairy-free yogurt or omit the yogurt. Using fully frozen banana slices yields the thickest texture. To make ahead, freeze blended smoothie in ice cube trays; reblend with a splash of milk when ready to drink.
