This creamy peanut butter banana smoothie is a quick, healthy, and protein-packed drink perfect for breakfast, a post-workout boost, or a midday snack. It’s rich, satisfying, and full of natural sweetness!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, if additional sweetness is desired)
  • Ice cubes (if using fresh banana, about 4–5 cubes)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients:
    • Add the banana, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sweetener (if desired) to a blender.
  2. Blend:
    • Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust consistency:
    • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. For a thicker texture, add a few more ice cubes or a frozen banana.
  4. Serve:
    • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, top with a drizzle of peanut butter, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • Protein boost: Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder for an even more filling smoothie.
  • Nut butter options: Substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a twist.
  • Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.
