Blueberry & Peanut Butter Smoothie
Ingredients
-
Frozen Blueberries: 1.5 cups (frozen gives it that thick, creamy texture).
-
Frozen Banana: 1 medium (peeled and sliced before freezing).
-
Greek Yogurt: 1/2 cup plain or vanilla (for protein and creaminess).
-
Milk of Choice: 1 cup (oat, almond, or dairy milk work perfectly).
-
Natural Peanut Butter: 2 tablespoons (plus extra for the “drip” effect).
-
Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
-
Toppings: Fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts.
Instructions
-
Combine the Base: Place the frozen blueberries, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into a high-speed blender.
-
Add Liquid: Pour in your chosen milk. Start with 1 cup; if you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash more later.
-
Blend: Pulse until the large chunks are broken down, then blend on high for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant purple.
-
The “Aesthetic” Pour: To get the look in the photo, take a spoonful of slightly warmed peanut butter and drizzle it around the inside rim of your glass or mason jar.
-
Serve: Pour the smoothie into the jar. Top with a handful of fresh blueberries, the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter, and a few crushed peanuts for crunch.
Pro-Tip: If the smoothie is too thick to blend, let it sit for two minutes to soften slightly before trying again. Enjoy immediately!
