When I was a little girl visiting my grandmother, she made a banana smoothie for herself every morning. I can still picture her assembling it: milk, banana, and a package of sweet n low. I remember her sharing it with me on occasion. While I admittedly didn’t think her smoothie was amazing, it was fun to share her treat with her.
I grinned the other day when I remembered her smoothie. So, I decided to create an updated version. My kids absolutely loved this and I did too. This smoothie a far cry from the one in my memories.
I will absolutely be making this again and I’m looking forward to trying it with frozen bananas. The room temperature ones whipped up into a more frothy drink than I was expecting, but it was tasty nonetheless.

I love banana smoothies too! I put honey and almond milk in mine.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Next time, I would recommend peeling the bananas before freezing them. I usually peel several bananas and then store them in a ziploc bag in the freezer.
