Peel and add the banana to a blending jar or use frozen bananas.
Add low-fat milk and ice.
Add cinnamon powder and vanilla extract.
Blend all the ingredients for a minute, and if using frozen fruit, blend on high speed until the smoothie purees well.
Pour and serve chilled, and it tastes best when served fresh.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume them within a day.
Notes
If you prefer to make the smoothie with two fruits, add bananas and combine them with strawberries; take one banana and one-fourth cup of strawberries and blend the smoothie with low-fat milk.
Adding two fruits is a good idea to reduce the calories and sugars in bananas; therefore, add berries to the banana, make it low-calorie, and keep it healthy.
