Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large frozen banana
- 120 ml (½ cup) almond milk

- 32 g (2 tablespoons) creamy almond butter
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Assemble a high-performance blender and all designated ingredients for a seamless smoothie creation process.
- Initial Blending: Combine ingredients in the blender, securing the lid firmly to prevent any potential splattering during the mixing phase.
- Texture Development: Execute a series of quick pulses to fragment larger components, then transition to a continuous high-velocity blend for 45-60 seconds, creating a harmonious, velvety consistency.
- Consistency Refinement: Evaluate the smoothie’s density, gently introducing additional almond milk if necessary to achieve an ideal, silky-smooth pouring texture.
- Serving Presentation: Transfer the freshly blended mixture into a chilled glass, extracting every last drop from the blender with precision.
- Final Touch: Elevate the visual appeal and flavor profile by optional garnishing with delicate almond slivers or a sophisticated coffee syrup drizzle.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Accurate ingredient proportions are crucial for achieving the perfect flavor balance and nutritional harmony.
- Blend Strategically: Start with pulsing to break down ingredients, then blend continuously to create a silky-smooth texture without over-processing.
- Temperature Matters: Use chilled ingredients and a cold glass to maintain the smoothie’s refreshing quality and prevent rapid temperature change.
- Customize Wisely: Adjust liquid content gradually if the consistency seems too thick, ensuring a perfect pourable texture without compromising flavor intensity.
