Banana Almond Smoothie Recipe

Banana Almond Smoothie Recipe

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas (peeled)

• 10–12 raw almonds (soaked overnight or at least 4 hours)

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond milk)

• ½ cup plain yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• 4–5 ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Prep Almonds:
   If using raw almonds, soak them in water overnight. Drain before using. Soaked almonds blend smoother and are easier to digest.

2. Blend Ingredients:
   In a blender, combine:

   • Bananas

   • Soaked almonds

   • Milk

   • Yogurt (if using)

   • Honey/maple syrup (if using)

   • Vanilla extract (optional)

   • Ice cubes

3. Blend Until Smooth:
   Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

4. Taste & Adjust:
   Taste and add more sweetener or milk if needed to adjust the thickness and sweetness.

5. Serve Immediately:
   Pour into a tall glass and enjoy chilled. Optionally, garnish with sliced almonds or banana slices.
