How to make a banana smoothie
We start by peeling and cutting 4 bananas into slices. We will try that the banana pieces are not too large to be able to crush the smoothie more easily.
We take the sliced banana to a glass blender. If you do not have this type of blender, you can use the hand blender. We pour a liter of whole milk and crush everything very well so that it is without lumps. Optionally, we can add a little cinnamon in this step.
If we like the smoothie cold, we will take it to the fridge for an hour. Finally, we serve the banana smoothie with a little cinnamon powder.
