Looking for a quick, nutritious snack that your kids will love? This kid-friendly Banana Smoothie is naturally sweet, dairy-free, and packed with healthy ingredients like potassium-rich bananas, turmeric, and cinnamon. It's the perfect easy breakfast or after-school treat that blends in minutes!

Why This Kid-Friendly Banana Smoothie is Perfect for Your Family

This is a wholesome snack or breakfast that even the pickiest eaters will love - because it's delicious! Plus, it’s a refreshing way to sneak in some extra fruit and spices that support overall health.

Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, which may help maintain healthy blood pressure levels and supports heart health. Adding turmeric and cinnamon gives this smoothie a warming twist and introduces powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Quick and Easy Banana Smoothie

We get it—busy mornings and snack times can be chaotic. That’s why we designed this recipe to be as simple as possible.

With just a few staple ingredients and a blender, you can whip up this smoothie in under five minutes. Plus, most of the ingredients are already in your pantry or freezer, making it a no-fuss option when you’re short on time.

Why Use JOI Almond Milk Powder in This Recipe?

We crafted this recipe using JOI Almond Milk Powder for more than just convenience (although that’s a huge bonus!). Unlike many store-bought plant-based milks, JOI is free from additives, gums, and preservatives. It’s just one clean, simple ingredient that blends perfectly into any smoothie.

10g of "just almond" per serving...need we say more?

By using JOI, you’re reducing packaging waste and lowering your carbon footprint. One pouch of JOI makes 8 quarts of almond milk, cutting down on the environmental impact of single-use cartons. Plus, you make as much or as little as you need, meaning less food waste in the long run.

But don't stop at Almond Powder! Any JOI milk concentrate will work great in this recipe: from hemp to cashew to almond paste or oat. Our go-to? A blend of almond powder, cashew and hemp.

Nutrient-Dense and Delicious Banana Smoothie

This smoothie isn’t just tasty—it’s packed with good-for-you ingredients. Turmeric is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, which may help boost immunity and reduce inflammation. Cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels and has been linked to improved heart health.

Pair these superfoods with a potassium-rich banana and protein from plant-based yogurt, and you’ve got a snack or breakfast that keeps everyone feeling full and energized.

Banana Smoothie Substitutions and Customizations

One of the best parts about this smoothie is how flexible it is. You can easily swap or add ingredients to fit your family’s preferences:

• Switch up the plant-based yogurt: Use any flavor or variety you like. A coconut-based yogurt adds a tropical twist.

• Boost the veg: Add some frozen riced cauliflower or spinach. These are tasteless but rich in nutrients

• Sweeten naturally: The banana often adds enough sweetness, but if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, drizzle in a bit more maple syrup or honey.

• Make it extra creamy: Just add more JOI!  Any JOI milk concentrate works great in this recipe - we love cashew, hemp, oat or almond.

• Monkey it: Add some cocoa powder or cocoa nibs ... and maybe a couple of walnuts to make it a "monkey" smoothie.
