Smoothies are usually associated with breakfast and workouts but we really think a spiked smoothie could change not just the trajectory of this fresh fruit treat…but yours too! Our Baileys Banana Blender Brew (Spiked Smoothie) is easy to make, which makes the enjoyment even greater. Smooth and silky banana meets a bit of cream and a garnish of your choice of fresh fruit for the perfect finishing touch. The best part is that you can feel at least a little healthy while drinking our spiked smoothie since you’re taking in the nutrients from the banana.
Can I Use A Different Liquor Than Vodka?
While we use vodka in this recipe for a neutral base, you can absolutely switch things up to tweak the flavor to your liking. Using a spiced rum would add warming notes that make this spiked smoothie almost like a serving of Bananas Foster. Or, try adding in your favorite whiskey or bourbon for a little sweetness and plenty of richness. If you’re looking for a little bit of energy in your smoothie, you could even add in a coffee liqueur to make this a mocha banana smoothie.
