Instructions

Blend: Add all of your ingredients to a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined, ensuring the frozen banana breaks down for a creamy texture.
Scrape: If needed, pause the blender and remove the lid to scrape down the sides with a spatula. This ensures all ingredients are fully incorporated and no chunks remain.
Serve: Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. This recipe yields one large smoothie or two standard-sized servings.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute the vanilla Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based yogurt.
Use frozen banana to achieve a creamy, chilled texture without added ice.
Medjool dates provide natural sweetness and extra fiber; adjust quantity to taste.
Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder for an extra nutrient boost.
Almond milk can be replaced with any other plant-based or dairy milk preference.
