I first crafted this smoothie on a busy morning, five minutes was all I had before heading to work. The sweet, creamy blend of banana and caramel syrup with a gut‑friendly kefir twist became my go‑to breakfast. Feel free to experiment with add‑ins like collagen powder or turmeric to match your goals. If you loved this recipe, please bookmark, share, and tag a friend who needs a quick, dreamy boost.

Method
Prep fruit: Peel, slice, and cut 2 bananas into chunks. For a thicker texture, freeze banana slices in a zip‑top freezer bag ahead of time.
Measure & add: In the blender, combine bananas, 2 cups of plain kefir, 3 tablespoons caramel syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. If using dates or turmeric, add them now.
Blend: low → high: Start in “blend” mode on low speed to process large chunks, then ramp up to high until completely smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds.
Check consistency: If it’s too thin, add a little crushed ice or extra banana. If too thick, pour in a splash more kefir or fat‑free milk.
Pour & garnish: Immediately pour into glasses. Top with shredded coconut or sliced almonds for a delightful crunch.
