Easy 5 Minute Banana Smoothie
- PREP 5min
- TOTAL 5min
Our banana smoothie is extra creamy and fruity. Depending on how ripe or sweet your banana and orange are, you may need to add a little extra honey, so add based on your taste. There are many additions you can make. Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of fresh greens like spinach or kale for a green smoothie. You can also add more fruit. Add 1/2 cup of strawberries, mango, frozen berries, pineapple, or other favorite fruit.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
- How to freeze: To save the smoothie for later, pour each serving into a food-safe resealable plastic bag or container and freeze. About an hour before needing the smoothie, take it out of the freezer.
- Non-dairy alternatives: Leave the yogurt out of the recipe above and replace it with more banana, a tablespoon or so of nut butter, mango, or a tablespoon of hemp seeds. You may need to add a bit more water or non-dairy milk to thin the smoothie.
