- 1 ripe banana

- 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Peel the banana and place it in a blender.

- Add the ice cubes for a refreshing chill.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks of banana or ice left.

Notes
Tip: For added flavor, consider adding a dash of coconut extract or a handful of fresh mint leaves during blending.
For a thicker smoothie, freeze the banana beforehand. You can also add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra health boost without altering the flavor significantly.
Storing leftovers? Keep them in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but note that the smoothie may separate. Simply give it a good shake or stir before enjoying!
