The Recipe

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (the spottier, the sweeter!)

• Juice of ½ a fresh lemon (about 1-2 tablespoons)

• ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger (adjust to your spice preference)

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein & creaminess)

• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or water

• A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a frosty texture)

• Garnish (optional): A sprinkle of lemon zest or a thin slice of lemon.

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Juice the lemon half. Peel and grate the ginger.

2. Combine and Blend: Add all ingredients—banana, lemon juice, grated ginger, Greek yogurt (if using), almond milk, and ice—to a blender.

3. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high for 30-60 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

4. Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass, garnish if desired, and enjoy the fresh, invigorating flavor!

Chef's Notes & Customizations

• Make it Your Own:

  • For a Vegan Version: Skip the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based alternative like coconut or soy yogurt.

  • Boost the Protein: Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder.

  • Add Greens: A handful of fresh spinach is a great way to add nutrients without altering the taste.

  • Sweeten It Up: If your banana isn't very ripe, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.

• Pro Tip: For an even easier morning, pre-portion peeled bananas and pre-grated ginger in your freezer. This also creates a thicker, frostier smoothie texture
