About this dish

With wild soybean powder and roasted brown rice powder in it, this tastes like a thick version of misutgaru, Korea's roasted grain drink.

The banana spends just ten minutes in the freezer first, and that alone gives it a shake-like body with no other thickener.

Instructions

6 steps

1

Slice 1 banana into bite-size pieces and spread them on a plate so they do not overlap.

Freeze for about 10 minutes, just until chilled and slightly firm, to help the smoothie become thick without extra thickeners.
2

Pour 350 ml milk and 120 g plain yogurt into the blender first.

Starting with the liquids helps the blades catch smoothly and prevents dry powder from packing around the bottom before blending begins.
3

Add 5 tablespoons wild soybean powder and 2 tablespoons roasted brown rice powder over the liquid.

Blend on low for about 10 seconds first, just until the powders are moistened and fewer dry lumps remain.
4

Add the chilled banana, 1.5 tablespoons honey, 1 pinch salt, and 120 g ice.

Blend on high for 35 to 45 seconds, until the sound becomes even and no visible ice pieces remain.
5

Open the lid and check the consistency.

If dry powder or banana pieces remain, blend in 5-second bursts until smooth.
6

Pour the smoothie into cold glasses right away and serve before the surface settles.

If it stands for more than a few minutes, stir once before drinking because the grain powders can sink slightly.
