- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)

- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring all elements are well combined.

Notes
- Using a frozen banana adds natural sweetness and thickness without needing extra sugar.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice such as oat, soy, or dairy milk.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preferences or skip it entirely for a lower sugar option.
- For added protein, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of Greek yogurt.
- Blend ice last to control the smoothie thickness.
