Open in Pepper →A ripe banana does the heavy lifting in a smoothie. It makes the whole thing thick and sweet without much else, so breakfast comes together while the coffee finishes.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on school mornings, after a workout, or at four in the afternoon when dinner is still hours off and somebody is hungry now.
Every recipe here starts with banana and goes somewhere different: the berry banana smoothie with raspberries and blueberries, a strawberry banana smoothie bowl with Greek yogurt, peanut butter banana with almond milk, a plain banana smoothie with milk and a little sugar, and a pineapple mango banana for something brighter.
Freeze your ripe bananas
Peel spotty bananas, break them into thirds, and freeze on a sheet pan for 2 hours before bagging. Frozen fruit means no ice and no watery smoothie.
Add liquid first
Pour in your 1 cup of milk or almond milk before the fruit so the blades catch and you are not stopping to scrape every 10 seconds.
Go thicker for bowls
For a smoothie bowl, cut the liquid to about 1/4 cup and blend on low, stopping to push fruit down with a spatula so it stays spoonable.
Taste before you sweeten
A very ripe banana is usually enough. If it needs help, start with 1 teaspoon of sugar or honey and blend 5 more seconds.
