Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (preferably frozen for creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural or homemade recommended)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut/almond yogurt for vegan version)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 45 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel the ripe bananas and gather peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, and optional sweetener. Having everything ready ensures a smooth blending process.
  2. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the bananas, peanut butter, milk of choice, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into the blender.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Add Ice and Final Blend: Add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the smoothie is chilled and has a creamy, thick texture.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into a tall glass and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas to achieve a thicker, creamier smoothie without adding extra ice.
  • Opt for natural peanut butter to avoid added sugars and oils.
  • Adjust the amount of milk gradually to control smoothness and thickness.
  • Blend soft ingredients first and add ice last for the best texture.
  • Taste before adding ice or extra sweetener to maintain balanced natural flavors.
