Strawberry & Peanut Butter Power Smoothie

Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries (plus one for garnish)

  • 1 Ripe banana (frozen works best for a creamy texture)

  • 1 tbsp Creamy peanut butter

  • 1 cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk all work great)

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra thickness)

  • Toppings: A sprinkle of crushed peanuts or granola and a few whole almonds.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Wash the strawberries and remove the green stems. Peel your banana.

  2. Layer the Blender: To keep things moving smoothly, add your liquid (milk) first, followed by the peanut butter and yogurt, then the fruit.

  3. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and those little strawberry seeds are well-incorporated.

  4. Adjust Consistency: * If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.

    • If it’s too thin, add a couple of ice cubes or more frozen fruit and blend again.

  5. Garnish: Pour into a tall glass. Sprinkle the crushed peanuts or granola on top. Slice a strawberry halfway up the middle and slide it onto the rim of the glass.

Pro-Tip for Texture

Using a frozen banana is the secret to getting that milkshake-like consistency without watering it down with ice. If you have extra bananas, peel them and keep them in a freezer bag for future smoothies!
