Instructions
Preparation Steps
Add milk, frozen bananas, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until mostly smooth, then add the ice and blend again until thick and creamy, 30 to 60 seconds.
Taste and adjust: add more honey for sweetness or a splash of milk to thin. Pour into two chilled glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
For a vegan smoothie, use a dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk. Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost protein, or a spoonful of cocoa for a chocolate twist.
