Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 ripe banana, frozen

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (plant-based or whey)

1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ cup Greek yogurt (for added creaminess)

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

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

A pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients: If you haven't done so already, freeze the banana ahead of time to enhance the creaminess of the smoothie.

    Blend: In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, almond butter, chia seeds, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using).

      Season: Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. This helps to balance the sweetness and elevate the flavors.

        Ice it Up (Optional): If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes.

          Blend Again: Blend on high speed until smooth and silky, scraping down the sides if necessary. Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

            Taste & Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.

              Serve: Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. You can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds, a dollop of nut butter, or a banana slice on top if desired.

                Enjoy: Sip and savor the silky texture and delicious vanilla flavor of your protein-packed smoothie!
