Ingredients
2 cups frozen banana slices
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon almond butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
1-Start with liquid: Pour 1/4 cup milk or juice into the blender.
2-Add frozen fruit and extras: Add 2 cups frozen fruit, plus creamy ingredients like avocado or nut butter; if using banana, use at least one frozen ripe banana.
3-Blend on low: Blend on low speed to break up the fruit, using a tamper to push ingredients down without adding extra liquid.
4-Increase speed: Once moving, increase to high speed and blend until smooth, scraping sides and under blades if needed.
5-Avoid over blending: Stop as soon as combined; over blending thaws the fruit and makes the bowl runny.
6-Let it rest: Pour into a bowl and let it sit for one minute to thicken slightly.
7-Serve immediately: Serve fresh, as the texture changes if it sits too long.

🍌 Always use frozen fruit — fresh fruit creates a thin consistency and ice dilutes the flavor as it melts.
🥛 Start with only 1/4 cup liquid and add more only a tablespoon at a time if the blender completely stalls.
⚡ A high-speed blender like Vitamix or Ninja handles frozen chunks best and prevents the need for extra liquid.
