Blend ∙ 4 min ∙
The Banana So Smoothie is a non-alcoholic blended drink of banana, yoghurt, honey, and apple juice, served up as a thick breakfast smoothie. Thick and creamy with ripe banana sweetness up front, a tangy yoghurt undertone, and a light apple-juice finish that keeps it from feeling heavy.

Instructions for 1 serving
- Pre-chill a glass
- Blend the ingredients: Yoghurt 7 bspHoney 3 bspBanana 1 pcApple juice 90 ml with a scoop of crushed ice
- Pour into the glass
- Garnish with a banana chunk
Tips
- Use a fully overripe, heavily spotted banana for maximum natural sweetness and a smoother, less fibrous blend texture.
- Add the apple juice first before the yoghurt and honey so the blender blades catch liquid immediately and avoid a stuck, unblended pocket.
- Blend just until smooth, about 20-30 seconds; over-blending warms the mixture and can cause the honey to separate slightly.
- Cut the garnish banana chunk fresh right before serving and perch it on the rim of the hurricane glass so it doesn't brown.
History
