• If you want to add more protein into your smoothie then you can increase the amount of Greek yogurt or few extra tablespoons of cream into it.
• You can add yogurt of your choice into the smoothie recipe like plain yogurt, flavoured yogurt, Greek yogurt and even flavoured Greek yogurt. According to me, vanilla Greek yogurt works best for this smoothie.
• If you are a hardcore lover of banana flavour, then you can skip vanilla extract from the recipe.
• If you have sweet tooth, then increase the amount of the sweetener accordingly and if you don’t like sweet smoothie then you can skip the honey.

Yes of course. You can use fresh banana for the recipe. Always use ripe bananas for the recipe. Even if there are few brown spots on the body of the bananas, that’s fine.

Normally, I prefer to use frozen fruits into the smoothie rather than using ice cubes because once it melts down, it dilutes the texture and flavour of the smoothie.

You can use any toping of your choice for the recipe. You can use granules, choco chips, peanut butter or other fresh fruits like berries, shredded coconut, thin chopped nuts or banana slices.

It’s always better to drink the smoothie immediately after preparing it. But you can store it in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.

Yes of course, you can. Banana and vanilla both smell great together.

It’s completely up to you. You can use plain yogurt, Greek yogurt and even flavoured yogurt of your choice for the recipe.

To prepare the banana smoothie healthy aka banana smoothie yogurt, take a jar of a blender and then add the frozen banana slices into it.

Add Greek yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract into the jar of the blender and pulse it to a smooth velvety smoothie.

In this banana smoothie recipe, I have skipped sugar to make the smoothie healthier. I have used honey instead of sugar as the sweetener for the drink. But you can use any other sweetener of your choice.

For inducing a soothing flavour, I have added vanilla extract into the banana smoothie recipe. As we all know, whether it is cake, bread, pancake, cookies or smoothie the combination of banana and vanilla flavour goes amazing with each other.

The final touch of any smoothie recipe is topping. After pouring the banana smoothie yogurt into the glasses, add some banana slices and sprinkle little bit of cinnamon powder on the top of the glasses.
