Blend the Liquids & Powders. First, add the non-dairy & dry ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend these ingredients until smooth.
Blend the Frozen Banana. Next, add in the frozen banana. Blend until smooth & creamy. If needed, you can pause the blender, remove the lid, & scrape down the sides so that everything is fully incorporated. You may need to add a little more liquid depending on how thick/thin you like your smoothies.

Serve. Pour into the glass & enjoy!
