Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- â…› teaspoon ground nutmeg
Toppings
- ½ cup whipped cream (optional for topping)
- 1 tablespoon shaved white chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Allow it to cool slightly to avoid curdling when blended.
- Blend the Smoothie: Add the melted white chocolate, vanilla yogurt, frozen banana, almond milk, and ground nutmeg into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste your smoothie and if you prefer it sweeter, add maple syrup or honey as desired. Blend again briefly to evenly incorporate the sweetener.
- Serve with Toppings: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with shaved white chocolate for a festive and elegant finish. Serve immediately to enjoy at its best.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice including dairy or other plant-based alternatives.
- For an extra cold smoothie, chill your glasses beforehand or add a few ice cubes to the blender.
- If you want the smoothie to be thicker, use Greek yogurt or more frozen banana.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level or omitted if the yogurt is already sweet.
- Use a high-speed blender for the creamiest texture and to fully blend the frozen ingredients.
