Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.

Equipment Needed

A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

How To Make The Smoothie King Lean1 Vanilla

The Smoothie King Lean1 Vanilla is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place bananas, almonds, Lean1 Vanilla powder, water, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

If you prefer a creamier texture, you can replace the water with almond milk or another plant-based milk.

To add an extra nutrient boost, consider including a handful of spinach or kale, which blends smoothly without altering the flavor.

For those looking for additional sweetness, a teaspoon of honey or a few pitted dates can be added.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace almonds with another type of nut in this smoothie?

Yes, you can substitute almonds with other nuts like cashews, walnuts, or even almond butter if you prefer. Each nut will add its unique flavor and nutritional profile, but the smoothie will still retain its creamy texture and nutrient density.

Is it okay to add a sweetener like honey or maple syrup to this smoothie?

While the smoothie is naturally sweetened with bananas, you can certainly add a sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or Stevia if you prefer a sweeter taste. Just be mindful of the added calories and sugars if you’re watching your intake.
