Ingredients

2 ripe bananas ripe bananas, frozen (peeled and sliced before freezing)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground vanilla bean powder (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon almond butter (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
Pinch nutmeg (optional, for an extra layer of warmth)
ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

Equipment

Blender
- Baking Sheet
Airtight container
Ice cube tray

Method

Ensure your bananas are ripe – this is key for sweetness and creamy texture. Peel and slice them before freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for achieving that thick, ice-cream-like consistency without needing excessive ice.

Pour the unsweetened almond milk into your blender. If you're using vanilla extract, add it now.

Add the frozen banana slices, ground cinnamon, vanilla bean powder (or extract if not added previously), almond butter (if using), chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of nutmeg (if using) to the blender.

Secure the lid on your blender and start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to pause and scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until the desired consistency is reached. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly.
