Creamy Banana Smoothie

This banana smoothie recipe is one of those blends that feels both comforting and energizing. It’s naturally sweet, rich without being heavy, and made with wholesome ingredients. The frozen bananas create that milkshake-like texture, coconut yogurt adds creaminess, and collagen peptides give it a protein boost to help keep energy levels steady.

Banana Smoothie Ingredients

This isn’t just a banana-and-milk blend. Each ingredient plays a role in making this one of my most loved breakfast smoothies, thanks to the creamy and balanced blend.

• Frozen bananas provide natural sweetness and thickness without ice.
• Coconut yogurt adds richness and a subtle tang that keeps the smoothie from tasting flat. You can swap for Greek yogurt or make my cashew coconut yogurt.
• Cashew milk keeps everything smooth and neutral, while vanilla enhances the banana flavor without overpowering it. Pick your favorite brand or make cashew milk at home. I also use cashew milk in my blueberry smoothie if you want to make that next.
• Collagen peptides blend in seamlessly and help turn this smoothie into something that feels more like a meal than a snack.

How to Make a Banana Smoothie

1. Add the frozen bananas, coconut yogurt, cashew milk, collagen peptides, and vanilla to your blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick for your blender, add a splash more milk and blend again.
2. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy right away while it’s cold and creamy.

Recipe Tips

• If this smoothie is too thick for your blender blades to handle, try adding a bit more liquid, stirring up the ingredients, then blending again. This should help. Using one of my recommended smoothie blenders can make this even easier.
• Start with plain, unsweetened coconut yogurt to avoid added sugars.
• Make sure the collagen or protein powder you use doesn’t have added sugar. Read the label on the yogurt you use as well! There are many great plant based yogurt brands on the market now, yet lots are loaded with added sugar.
