Description
A quick, creamy, and satisfying peanut butter banana smoothie made with wholesome ingredients like ripe banana, peanut butter, and milk. Perfect as a breakfast, snack, or post-workout drink.
Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added protein)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 to 1 cup ice cubes, depending on desired thickness
Instructions
- Add banana, milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend until the smoothie is silky smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or texture if needed, adding more banana or ice.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for maximum natural sweetness and creaminess.
For a vegan version, skip the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based alternative.
Add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein.
A teaspoon of cocoa powder creates a chocolatey version.
A handful of spinach can be added for extra nutrients without affecting the taste.
If the banana isn’t sweet enough, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shake or stir before drinking.
Freeze in an ice cube tray for longer storage and re-blend with milk later.
