Creamy and silky with sweet banana, a fresh yoghurt tang and a nutty finish.
About this smoothie
Almond milk is light and mildly nutty, but on its own it can make a smoothie a little thin. Natural yoghurt adds body, a pleasant acidity and some protein, while the ripe banana brings sweetness and creaminess. The combination is balanced and not too sweet.
This smoothie is a good breakfast or post workout glass. With a plant based yoghurt it becomes fully vegan.
Bartender tips
Greek yoghurt makes the smoothie even thicker.
A teaspoon of almond butter strengthens the nutty flavour.
Variations
Vegan
Replace the natural yoghurt with soy or almond yoghurt.
