Vanilla yogurt
- Milk: The smoothie will be thinner and less tangy.
Banana
- Ice: Adds chill and thickness but removes the banana sweetness and body.
Vanilla extract
- Vanilla: Use the same amount if it is a plain vanilla flavoring.
Ice
- Water: Use chilled water if needed, but the smoothie will be less frosty.
