The Ultimate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1 large glass
Ingredients
Category Ingredient Quantity
The Base Frozen Bananas (peeled before freezing) 2 medium
Protein/Fat Creamy Peanut Butter 2 tbsp
Liquid Almond milk (or milk of choice) 1 cup
Sweetener Honey or Maple Syrup (optional) 1 tsp
Texture Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla) 1/4 cup
Toppings Fresh banana slices, crushed peanuts, extra peanut butter drizzle As desired
Instructions
Prep the Glass: For that professional “dripping” look shown in your photo, take a spoonful of room-temperature peanut butter and swirl it around the inside rim of your glass, letting it naturally drip down the sides. Place the glass in the freezer for 2 minutes to “set” the drips.
Blend: Add the frozen bananas, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, milk, and yogurt into a high-speed blender.
Adjust Consistency: Blend until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it thicker (like a milkshake), add a few ice cubes or another half of a frozen banana.
Assemble: Pour the mixture into your prepared glass.
Garnish: Top with fresh banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for that satisfying crunch.
Pro Tips for the Best Result
Use Overripe Bananas: The spottier the banana, the sweeter the smoothie!
Frozen is Key: Using frozen bananas instead of ice ensures the flavor isn’t “watered down” and creates that creamy, soft-serve texture.
Add a Boost: Want more protein? Toss in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
