How to Make a Banana Smoothie in a Ninja Blender

Want a yummy, healthy treat? A banana smoothie is perfect! And a Ninja blender makes it super easy. Let’s get blending!

What You Need

• A Ninja blender (any model works!)
• Ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter!)
• Liquid (milk, yogurt, juice – your choice!)
• Optional extras (see below)

Basic Banana Smoothie Recipe

Here’s the simple way to make a banana smoothie:

1. Peel 1 or 2 bananas and break them into chunks.
2. Put the banana chunks into your Ninja blender.
3. Add about 1 cup of your chosen liquid. Start with less; you can always add more.
4. Put the lid on tight!
5. Blend until smooth. Start on a low speed and then increase to high. This usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute.
6. Pour into a glass and enjoy!

Making it Even Better: Optional Extras

Want to make your smoothie extra special? Try these:

• Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries – they all taste great!
• Spinach or Kale: Sneak in some healthy greens! You won’t even taste them.
• Peanut Butter or Almond Butter: Makes it creamy and adds protein.
• Oats: Makes it thicker and more filling.
• Honey or Maple Syrup: For extra sweetness.
• Protein Powder: If you’re working out, this is a good boost.
• Ice: Add a few ice cubes for a colder, thicker smoothie.

Just add these extras with the banana and liquid before blending.

Tips and Tricks

• Frozen bananas make extra-thick smoothies. Just peel them before freezing!
• Don’t overfill your blender. It works best when it’s not too full.
• Clean your blender right after you use it. It’s much easier!
