If you are like me, you always have bananas in your house. There's always a bunch of bananas, sometimes they are green, sometimes they are yellow, and sometimes they are brown and spotty and no one will touch them.
When they are brown and spotty, use them to make this delicious smoothie in less than 5 minutes! It's perfect for those bananas because the bananas add a delicious sweetness you can't get from a very yellow banana.
This smoothie is super versatile too! You can add your favorite ingredients like protein powder, seeds, greens, or extra fruit for a filling, sweet treat!

Adults and kids alike will love this smoothie. The best part about this smoothie is that you can make it in less than 5 minutes. Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend.

Ingredients to Gather
- Bananas. You can use fresh bananas or frozen bananas. If you are using fresh bananas, make sure to add 1 cup of ice cubes so the smoothie is icy and cold.
- Milk. You favorite variety. Dairy or nondairy milk are both great options.
- Honey. This adds a little bit of sweetness to the smoothie. If you prefer, you could use maple syrup, agave syrup, or a bit of granulated sugar to the smoothie instead of honey.

Make Ahead Tips
Smoothies are best blended and then enjoyed. If you do need to make this smoothie ahead of time, here's how you do it.
Pour the smoothie into a clean, airtight container or a mason jar to prevent oxidation and to keep the smoothie fresh. Make sure to fill the container as much as possible to minimize air exposure, which can cause browning in the smoothie.
Store the container in the refrigerator. The smoothie will stay fresh for up to 24-48 hours. Before you enjoy the smoothie, give the smoothie a good shake or stir. This is because separation will likely occur.
You can freeze this smoothie too! Freeze the smoothie in an airtight container or ice cube trays. When ready to drink, thaw in the refrigerator and blend again.
