Apple & Peanut Butter Power Smoothie
This smoothie is creamy, naturally sweet, and packed with protein and fiber.
Ingredients
-
1 medium apple: Cored and sliced (keep the skin on for extra fiber!).
-
1 frozen banana: Provides that thick, creamy texture seen in the glass.
-
1 tablespoon peanut butter: Smooth or crunchy works great.
-
1 cup milk of choice: Dairy, almond, or oat milk all fit perfectly.
-
1 teaspoon honey: To match the honey wand in your photo.
-
A pinch of cinnamon: Optional, but brings out the apple flavor.
-
Ice: A small handful if your fruit isn’t frozen.
Instructions
-
Prep the Fruit: Wash the apple thoroughly. Remove the core and chop it into small chunks. Peel your banana (if using a fresh one).
-
Combine: Add the apple, banana, milk, peanut butter, and honey into a high-speed blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
-
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it frostier, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
-
Garnish: Pour into a glass. To match your image, top with a few small pieces of chopped banana and a tiny drizzle of honey or peanut butter.
Quick Tips for the Best Result
-
The Apple: Use a sweeter variety like Gala or Fuji to complement the peanut butter.
-
Texture: If you don’t have a high-powered blender, grate the apple first to ensure there are no chunky bits of skin left behind.
-
Peanut Allergy? You can easily swap the peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
