Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup yogurt (Greek, regular, or dairy-free: plain or vanilla)
1/2 frozen banana
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1-2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup, or sweetener of choice to taste)
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ice
dash stevia extract (or monk fruit extract, optional)

Instructions

Add yogurt, frozen banana, lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener, milk, chia seeds, and vanilla to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Add the ice and blend again until thick and frosty.
Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Add a little more milk if too thick.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Sweetener: Banana ripeness affects sweetness. Add more sweetener to taste as needed.
Chia: Chia seeds add body and nutrition. They can be omitted if desired.
Dairy-Free: Coconut yogurt works very well. If using a nondairy yogurt that’s low in protein, add protein powder if desired.
Make Ahead: The texture will change in the refrigerator as the ice melts and the chia thickens. If reblending with fresh ice, adjust the lemon and sweetener as needed.
Smoothie Bowl: Reduce the milk for a thicker, spoonable consistency.
