    Banana Smoothie

    This banana smoothie without milk or yogurt is the perfect way to start your day! It’s super easy to make and packed with nutrients. Especially the addition of chia seeds make it a real power smoothie!

    I’m a huge smoothie fan! I have a green smoothie with kale and bananas almost every morning. One of my favorite smoothies are banana smoothies, but unfortunately they’re often loaded with dairy. So it’s about time to make a homemade vegan banana smoothie without milk!

    Why This Banana Smoothie Without Milk Works:

    • The chia seeds are not only incredibly healthy, but they also give it a smooth and creamy texture.
    • Adding dates is a great way to add some additional sweetness without using any kind of refined sugar.
    • The bananas provide this smoothie with flavor and creaminess – completely without milk!
    • The natural peanut butter adds even more richness and it’s full of healthy fat.
    • Ice cubes help to make it a refreshing drink – perfect for hot summer days!
    • All in all, this recipe is extremely easy to make and makes such a great snack!

    What You Need For This Healthy Banana Smoothie Without Milk or Yogurt:

    You need only five ingredients to make vegan this banana smoothie and probably you’ve already got most of them in your pantry.

    For one banana smoothie without milk you need the following ingredients:

    • one banana
    • chia seeds
    • natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
    • ice cubes
    • dates
    • water

    As always, you can find the full ingredient list in a separate recipe box at the end of this post. 

    How to Make a Healthy Banana Smoothie Without Milk:

    All you need for this healthy banana smoothie is 5 minutes and a good blender!

    Ingredients for a banana smoothie without milk in a blender (bananas, dates, chia seeds, water, and ice cubes)

    STEP 1: Place all of the ingredients in a high speed blender.

    STEP 2: Process until smooth. This usually takes between 30 seconds and a minute depending on your blender.

    STEP 3: Serve the banana smoothie immediately.

    Healthy Banana Smoothie without Milk – Health Benefits:

    I know the color of this vegan chia banana smoothie might not be the prettiest, but it’s packed with healthy ingredients and it’s so delicious!

    • Instead of sugar, I added dates, which are like nature’s candy.
    • Bananas contain fiber as well as antioxidants. They’re also rich in potassium.
    • And let’s not forget about the chia seeds. Over the last few years, chia seeds have become a popular superfood.

    What are chia seeds? And are chia seeds healthy?

    Chia seeds are the edible seed of Salvia hispanica, a plant native to Central America. They’re originally grown in Mexico and “chia” actually means as much as strength. And not without a good reason!

    These little seeds are real energy wonders. They contain a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, calcium, and antioxidants.

    How to use chia seeds:

    I usually use chia seeds in energy bites, homemade granola bars, or I sprinkle them over cereal. And of course I also add them to my daily green smoothie.

    Recipe Notes:

    • For the best results you should use a high speed blender for this smoothie.
    • If you want to add extra flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract. You could also sprinkle some cinnamon on top.
    • Please consider that the texture of this smoothie will get a lot thicker if you don’t drink it immediately as the chia seeds will soak up some of the liquid. You can, however, always add more water and blend it again.

      Holy cow is this good! I was in the mood for a smoothie and had no plant based milk in the house at all. I don’t think I’ll ever use milk again.

      Great recipe that uses pantry staples. I always have frozen bananas and dates on hand. I have made it many times; it’s delicious.

      This looks so good! I make most of my smoothies with water and frozen fruit because I don’t like the texture of the blended ice.

      Did you make this specifically with me in mind? I think yes! Dates, bananas, chia, and of course PB–heck yes I am all about this! Sounds perfect :)

      I love that you added dates and chia to this smoothie! I’ve made smoothies without milk before, and haven’t noticed too much difference.

      I love this! I’ve been using water in my smoothies, too and was surprised that it didn’t impact the texture much. Love that you added dates!
