Instructions

1

Peel the banana and break it into the blender.

Tip: Using a frozen banana gives the smoothie a thicker, milkshake-like texture.
2

Add the lemon juice, elderflower syrup, yogurt, honey, and water.

Tip: Elderflower syrup is sweet, so go easy on the honey and adjust to taste afterwards.
3

Toss in the ice cubes.

Tip: Ice chills the drink immediately, highlighting the fresh citrus notes.
4

Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until creamy and frothy.

Tip: The protein in the yogurt aerates during blending, creating a light texture.
5

Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint.

Tip: Best served immediately before the foam settles.

Recipe FAQ

I don't have elderflower syrup.
Use honey or agave, though you'll miss the floral note. A drop of vanilla extract can help smooth it out.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes, simply substitute the yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.
