Ingredients
– 1 ripe banana

– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
– ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional)
– Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)
Instructions
Creating a Blueberry-Banana Smoothie is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to whip up your delicious drink:
1. Gather Ingredients: Start by assembling your ingredients on the counter.
2. Prepare the Banana: Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
3. Add Blueberries: If you’re using fresh blueberries, rinse them under cold water. If frozen, measure out a cup directly.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the banana chunks, blueberries, almond milk, and Greek yogurt (if using).
5. Sweeten It Up: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
6. Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If your smoothie is too thick, add more milk gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
7. Add Ice (Optional): For a cooler, thicker smoothie, blend in a few ice cubes after reaching the base consistency.
8. Taste Test: Pause to taste your smoothie. Adjust sweetness if needed.
9. Pour: Pour the smoothie into a glass or mason jar, suitable for immediate serving.
10. Garnish (Optional): Top with a few whole blueberries or slices of banana for an attractive finish.
These simple steps lead to the most refreshing Blueberry-Banana Smoothie you can make effortlessly.
