    Ingredients

    Banana cinnamon smoothie ingredients

    Banana – Use ripe bananas to make the smoothie.

    Bananas are a good source of dietary potassium, vitamin C, dietary fiber, and vitamin B6. They also contain small amounts of magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, zinc, and various phytonutrients. Ripe banana have more sugar than an unripe banana, but they also have a lower glycemic index (GI) value, which means that they don’t cause spikes in blood sugar levels.

    Make sure to freeze the bananas for a few hours to make a creamy smoothie.

    Medjool Dates – Dates are loaded with nutrients and give natural sweetness to the smoothie.

    Cinnamon – Cinnamon is a good source of manganese, iron, and calcium. It also contains small amounts of zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus. Cinnamon has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, and lowering blood sugar levels.

    Others – You will also need vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and milk.

    I used whole milk but feel free to use any milk of your choice.

    How To Make Banana Cinnamon Smoothie

    Add 2 large peeled, sliced, and frozen bananas, 2 Medjool dates (pitted), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 cup whole milk (full-fat milk) to the jar of a blender.

    Tip – If the frozen bananas are too hard, then thaw them for 10 minutes.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Blend until smooth.

    Pour the smoothie into 2 serving glasses and garnish with ground cinnamon. Serve immediately.
