About this smoothie

Banana is the classic smoothie base because it adds sweetness and a creamy texture without any sugar; it also contains potassium. Fresh mint cuts through that sweetness with a cool, clean aroma. Almond milk, a plant-based drink made from almonds and water, is light with a subtle nutty note. With only three ingredients, this smoothie is ready in two minutes and works well for breakfast or as a refreshing snack.

Bartender tips

  • A frozen banana makes it thick like a milkshake.
  • Too much mint can taste medicinal; add leaves gradually.

Variations

Chocolate mint
Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or a few cocoa nibs.
