A banana smoothie is a thick drink made by blending fruit with milk. Ripe bananas add creaminess and sweetness, while oats make it even thicker and add fiber for a more nourishing drink.
For a cold, creamy smoothie without ice (which can water it down), use frozen bananas: peel ripe bananas, slice them, and store them in the freezer.
