Instructions

Peel and chop the bananas. Add them in a blender.
Add ground cinnamon powder and lite coconut milk. You can even add vanilla extract instead of cinnamon powder.
Blend till smooth and to a fine consistency. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a splash of water or lite coconut milk. Blend again.
For more sweetness, consider adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
Pour banana smoothie in two glasses.
Sprinkle some toasted nuts and seeds. This is an optional step. But it will add some crunch to the smoothie and also make it more healthy and filling.
Serve banana smoothie straightaway.

Notes

Bananas: Preferably use sweet bananas. If the bananas are less sweet you may need to add some sweetener. Over ripe bananas also work well. You can also use frozen bananas for a thick frosty smoothie. Freeze the bananas for a few hours before making the smoothie.
Other fruits: To make the smoothie more healthy and flavorful, add fruits like avocado, strawberries, mango and blueberries.
Nut butters: To make a richer, creamy smoothie with healthy fats, consider adding unsweetened nut butters like cashew butter, almond butter or peanut butter.
Liquids: Other plant based milk or non-dairy milk options are oats milk, cashew milk, almond milk, rice milk or soy milk.
Sweetness: For a more sweeter taste, add your preferred sweetener. A few options are maple syrup, raw sugar, coconut sugar or brown sugar. For a non-vegan smoothie you can use honey.
Protein: For some protein boost add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of protein powder or 1 tablespoon of moringa powder. You can also add some ground flax seeds (flax meal) for more fiber and protein.
Vegetarian version: You can opt to make the smoothie with milk or yogurt. But note that that according to Ayurvedic principles the combination of milk or yogurt with banana can be heavy on the stomach.
Scaling: Make a larger portion of the recipe by scaling the ingredients.
