What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use spotty, over-ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
- 2Chill the soy milk overnight so the smoothie is frosty without needing ice, which waters it down.
- 3Slice bananas before freezing; freeze them for an extra-thick, milkshake-like consistency.
- 4Blend on high for a full 45 seconds to emulsify the soy milk and banana into a silky, airy drink.
- 5If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more soy milk and pulse briefly to loosen it.
