Equipment

blender
Small-ice cube tray optional

Ingredients

1 frozen banana or 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt if preferred
1 cup non-dairy milk divided (rice, oat or other non-dairy milk), use 1/2 of this to make non-dairy milk ice cubes (use a tray or silicone mold that creates ice cubes on the smaller side, like this)
1/4 cup lemon juice fresh, about 1 large lemon
3 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon quality salt or potassium salt, or electrolyte mix

Instructions

Plan ahead and freeze the 1/2 cup milk in a small-ice cube tray (making smaller than usual ice cubes, which blend more easily).
Place the frozen banana, milk-ice cubes, milk, lemon juice, sweetener and salt into a blender.
Turn the blender on low speed, then raise to high. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is thick, smooth and creamy.
