Today I’m sharing my 30 Second Banana Smoothie Recipe For MIRACULOUS Weight Loss.
A lot of banana smoothie recipes are overly complicated or combine the bananas with other fruits you may not have on hand.
Most of us often end up with a bunch of ripe bananas that we need to do something with right now. So adding them all to a smoothie is the perfect choice.
This banana smoothie is also a complete meal so it will help you lose weight by getting rid of the processed junk and rancid fats out of your diet, and replacing them with easily digesting, fiber-rich, nutrient-dense bananas.

There is only one core ingredient in this smoothie and that is simply bananas!
Yes, a one-ingredient smoothie! Believe it or not, there is actually enough water content in bananas for you to blend them without adding any additional liquid at all. However to do this you’ll need to make sure you chop your bananas fairly fine, and a high speed blender will make this job easier.
Using only bananas will make the smoothie nice and thick.
But if you prefer a thinner smoothie or you have a standard blender, or you want to add even more ingredients to the smoothie, you’ll want to add some liquid to the smoothie too.
Even though this banana smoothie is perfect just the way it is, using only bananas, if you do want to jazz it up a bit, there are plenty of ways you can do it.
I give you a comprehensive list of all of these options in the recipe below.

30 Second Banana Smoothie Recipe For Miraculous Weight Loss
Ingredients
- 5 Bananas fresh or frozen
- 1 Cup Water optional for a thinner smoothie
Optional Extras - Liquid Replacemnts
- 1 cup of dairy free milk
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed juice
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups cucumber chunks
- 2 cups melon chunks
Added Flavors
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons of cacao or carob powder
- 2 Tablespoons of lucuma powder
- 2 Tablespoons of mesquite powder Algarrobo powder
- 1 teaspoon of ginger
- 1 teaspoon of Acai berry powder
- 1 teaspoon of Baobab powder
- 5 drops of citrus essential oil food grade
- Pinch of cardamom
- Pinch of Cayenne pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of sea salt
Herbs
- Small handful of mint
- Small handful of basil
- Small handful of lemon balm
Other Fruit
- 2 cups of other fruit such as berries apples, mangos, papayas
- ¼ cup dried or fresh coconut
Nuts and Seeds
- ¼ cup of any unroasted unsalted nuts such as pecans, cashews, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, or any nut butters
- ¼ cup of any unroasted unsalted seeds such as sunflower, chia, pumpkin, flax, hemp or any seed butters
Leafy Greens
- 2 cups of spinach chard, kale, or lettuce
- 2 tablespoons of green powder
Extra Sweet, Thick and Filling
- ¼ cup dates
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup of any dried fruit raw and not coated in syrup or sugar
Grains
- ¼ cup oats
- ¼ cup of soaked rinsed and drained buckwheat
- ¼ cup of soaked rinsed and drained quinoa
Cooling
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 cup of frozen fruit
Instructions
- Add your chosen ingredients to the blender and blend for 30 seconds or until smooth.
Notes
- If you use frozen bananas, you’ll definitely want to add some liquid to the blender and preferably use a high-speed blender.
- You should always blend water-rich ingredients and leafy greens first as they take up a lot of space in the blender but they reduce down. Then add harder ingredients later as it’s easier to blend harder ingredients once the blender already has more liquid in it.
- If you are using harder ingredients you may need to blend for a lot longer to get a smoother blend.
This is a perfect meal replacement smoothie because the 5 bananas will give you around 500 calories and that will keep you going until your next meal.
If you want to add in other fruit, you can replace some of the bananas with other fruit but bear in mind that other fruits are usually much lower in calories than bananas so your smoothie won’t be as filling.
Other high-calorie ingredients are:
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Dried fruit
- Grains
Very low-calorie ingredients are:
- Added flavors
- Herbs
- Leafy greens
For the most effective weight loss, it’s pretty much essential that you either count your calories at least to start with, so you have an idea of how calorific your smoothie is.
You’ll probably only need to do that a couple of times and then you’ll have your favorite smoothies that you make time and time again. But be aware that because nuts and dates are so high in calories, a 500 calorie smoothie can easily turn into a 1000 calorie smoothie, which will cause you to gain weight instead of losing it.
If you replace your breakfast and your lunch with a smoothie which is about 500 calories like this one, have a healthy dinner such as a salad, you’ll see the weight coming off fast.
Check out my other video called Will You Gain or Lose weight eating bananas? CALORIES DO COUNT for more information about how to lose weight with bananas.
It’s great to experiment with your smoothie and come up with the perfect taste for you, as you’re more likely to stick with healthy eating if you’re enjoying it.
If you don’t have time to experiment, I recommend you check out The Essential Guide To Meal Replacement Shakes, where I have hundreds of meal replacement shake recipes.
My favorite is the Key Lime Pie smoothie. It is SO good. You can get the recipe here.

Hi Katherine,I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
