Description
If mornings are your rush hour, this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is about to become your new best friend. It’s thick, creamy, and has just the right balance of nutty richness and natural sweetness to kickstart your day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Optional: 1 scoop protein powder, a handful of spinach, or a dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
Peel the banana and break it into chunks. If you’re using a frozen banana, there’s no need to add ice unless you prefer an extra-thick smoothie. - Blend the Smoothie:
Add the banana, peanut butter, milk, ice cubes (if using), and optional sweetener to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. - Taste and Adjust:
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed. Add more milk for a thinner consistency or more banana for extra thickness. - Serve and Enjoy:
Pour into a glass, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of peanut butter if you’d like, and enjoy immediately.
