Chocolate, and vanilla, and strawberry, oh my! I know this layered banana split smoothie looks all fancy and decadent, but I promise it’s easy to make. Surprisingly, you will only need 6 simple plant-based ingredients and about 10 minutes of time. I won’t lie, it requires a little bit more work than your typical smoothie, but it really is worth it! 

Tips to make the very best banana split smoothie:

  • Use ripe bananas. It’s important to use very ripe bananas, as they are much sweeter. Brown and spotty is perfect!
  • How to freeze the bananas. By freezing the bananas properly, the blending process will be much easier later. To freeze, peel your ripe bananas and cut into 5-6 pieces. Place in an air-tight bag or container and freeze overnight. If they are still soft when you’re ready to use, they are not frozen enough.
  • Use a bowl instead of a cup. I only used a cup to create a better looking photo, but in reality, I recommend using a bowl so that you can get a little bit of each layer as you eat it.

Kitchen essentials:

  • A high-speed blender or food processor. I like to use my food processor for this particular recipe, but a blender will also work. I have been using a Ninja blender for years and I still love it.
  • A serving cup or bowl.

Substitutions:

  • Pure maple syrup: can be substituted for agave nectar, date syrup or coconut sugar.

Ingredients

  • Chocolate Layer
  • 1 medium ripe banana, frozen (see tips above for freezing bananas)

  • 2 tbsp nondairy milk

  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (optional)

  • 1/2 tbsp cacao powder

  • Vanilla Layer
  • 1 medium ripe banana, frozen (see tips above for freezing bananas)

  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp nondairy milk

  • Strawberry Layer
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (8-10 strawberries)

  • 1/4 cup nondairy milk

  • 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Directions

  • Blend the layers. Add all ingredients for the chocolate layer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer the chocolate layer to your serving cup or bowl and repeat the process with the remaining two layers. I recommend placing your cup/bowl in the freezer in between making the layers to prevent them from melting. Note that each blender is different. If at any point the smoothie isn’t blending well, just add a splash more nondairy milk. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe makes one smoothie. The nutrition label is based on using oat milk as the nondairy milk, but you can use any nondairy milk.
