- 1 medium banana fresh or frozen
- 1 cup almond milk or oat milk dairy milk, or other milk of choice
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt optional

Notes
To make this smoothie dairy-free, simply leave out the yogurt or replace it with your favorite nondairy alternative, such as almond or coconut yogurt. Use a plant-based milk like almond, oat, soy, or cashew milk to keep the smoothie creamy without any dairy.
If you’re looking to boost the protein content, add ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt and mix in 2 tablespoons of nut butter. Both almond butter and peanut butter work wonderfully, adding richness, flavor, and a satisfying protein boost that makes the smoothie more filling.
