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!

• 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!

How to Make a Healthy Banana Smoothie Without Milk:

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.
