Recipe ingredients

• Frozen banana – A ripe frozen banana gives this smoothie its naturally sweet flavor and thick texture. For best results, peel ripe bananas before freezing them in freezer-safe bags.
• Maple syrup – Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. It blends smoothly into cold drinks and adds a rich sweetness.
• Yogurt – Plain or vanilla yogurt both work well. Greek yogurt, Icelandic yogurt, regular plain yogurt, or dairy free yogurt can be used depending on your preference.
• Almond milk – Almond milk keeps the smoothie light and helps everything blend smoothly. You can also use another milk of your choice.
• Almond butter – A drippy, unsweetened almond butter works best. It adds richness, nutty flavor, and a creamier finish.
• Ice – Add ice as needed to make the smoothie colder and thicker. Start with a small amount, then adjust after blending.

How to make it

Making this banana yogurt smoothie with maple syrup could not be easier. Add the frozen banana, maple syrup, yogurt, almond milk, almond butter, and a little ice to a high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it colder or frostier, add more ice and blend again.

Once the smoothie reaches your preferred consistency, pour it into a glass and enjoy right away. For a simple finishing touch, drizzle a small amount of almond butter over the top before serving. This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, which is one generous serving.
