This is my 'I have four minutes and still want to feel like a functioning adult' breakfast. A frozen banana is the whole secret — it makes the smoothie thick and milkshake-creamy without a drop of ice watering it down.
I keep a freezer bag of peeled, chunked bananas and mixed berries going at all times, so this comes together straight from the freezer. Add the liquid first, then the frozen fruit — your blender will thank you and blend far more smoothly.
Greek yogurt does double duty here: it makes it luxuriously thick and quietly sneaks in protein, so it actually holds me until lunch instead of leaving me raiding the snack drawer at 10am.
The method behind the meal
Why this recipe works
- •Freeze ripe bananas in chunks — it's the difference between creamy and thin.
- •No Greek yogurt? A scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoon of nut butter works.
- •Too thick? Add milk a splash at a time until it just moves in the blender.
