Ingredients
1 cup frozen bananas
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/2 cup ice cubes
1/4 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
2 tablespoons white chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Peel and slice ripe bananas, then freeze them for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. In a high-powered blender, combine the frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, white chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup milk.
3. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed for a thinner consistency.
4. Add ice cubes and blend again briefly until fully incorporated and frosty.
5. Pour into chilled glasses, top with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings.
6. Serve immediately with a festive straw.
Notes
Use frozen bananas only for best texture—it keeps the smoothie thick without needing extra ice.
Grate chocolate from a block for fluffier, snow-like curls rather than using pre-shredded chips.
Adjust sweetness by taste—if your bananas are very ripe, you may not need extra sweeteners.
