Creamy Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
1 large banana (frozen is best for that thick, creamy texture)
1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla for extra thickness and protein)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (to match the dusting on top)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
A handful of ice (only if using a fresh banana instead of frozen)
Instructions
Prep the Fruit: If you have time, peel and slice your banana and freeze it for at least 2 hours. If you’re in a hurry, a fresh banana works too!
Combine: Add the milk, peanut butter, yogurt, banana, and cinnamon into a high-speed blender.
Blend: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add a couple more ice cubes or a piece of frozen fruit.
Garnish: Pour into a tall glass. Drizzle a small amount of melted peanut butter on top, sprinkle with extra cinnamon, and finish with a fresh banana slice on the rim, just like in the photo.
