Add vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla bean paste, and milk. Stir again until combined.
Lastly, add the banana slices and mash them up slightly as you stir them into the mixture.

Notes

Meal Prep and Storage:

These will last up to 4 days in the fridge, so you can make extra servings if you're meal prepping breakfast for the week.
Make sure to store them covered or in an airtight container.
Add extra toppings in the morning! I like to add more sliced banana and either an extra dollop of vanilla greek yogurt or a spoonful of peanut butter.
