Creamy Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe
Learn how to make the perfect smoothie with banana and peanut butter! This creamy, protein-packed recipe takes just 5 minutes and tastes amazing.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas frozen for best results
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy or crunchy works
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- ½ cup Greek yogurt optional but adds extra creaminess and protein
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, for extra sweetness
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional but recommended
- Ice cubes if your bananas aren't frozen
Instructions
- Prep your bananas. If you haven't already, peel and slice your bananas, then freeze them for at least 2 hours. Frozen bananas create that thick, creamy texture we're after.
- Add liquid first. Pour your milk into the blender first. This helps everything blend more smoothly and prevents the blades from getting stuck.
- Add the remaining ingredients. Toss in your frozen banana slices, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until smooth. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until everything is completely smooth and creamy.
- Check the consistency. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen banana.
- Serve immediately. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture!
