Why Fairlife Milk Works Well in a Banana Smoothie

Fairlife milk provides a creamy dairy base that pairs naturally with banana. Its 2% ultra-filtered milk contains 13g of protein per cup, compared with 8g listed for regular milk on Fairlife’s product comparison.

Fairlife also states that its ultra-filtered milk has 50% more protein and 50% less sugar than regular milk.

The milk is also lactose-free, which makes it a convenient option for people looking for lactose-free dairy.

Can You Add Oats to a Fairlife Banana Smoothie?

Yes. Oats are an easy addition if you want a thicker, more substantial smoothie.

Fairlife itself uses banana, oats and Fairlife 2% milk together in its Granola Trail Mix Smoothie recipe.

For your own version, start with a small amount of oats and blend thoroughly. If the smoothie becomes too thick, simply add a little more Fairlife milk.

Can You Add Honey?

You can add honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, but it is completely optional. A ripe banana already provides natural sweetness, so you may want to taste the smoothie before adding any extra sweetener.

Fairlife’s official strawberry-banana smoothie recipe also combines Fairlife 2% milk, banana, strawberries and honey.
