Instructions

1. Add the ingredients:
   Place the banana, milk, lemon juice, ginger, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon into a blender.
2. Blend:
   Blend on high for 30–60 seconds, until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Add ice:
   Add the ice and blend for another 15–20 seconds until chilled and frothy.
4. Taste and adjust:
   Add a little more lemon for extra brightness or a small amount of honey if you prefer it sweeter.

Tips

• For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana.
• For a dairy-free version, use almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk.
• Start with a small amount of ginger—the flavor becomes stronger as you add more.
