Description
A creamy, rich smoothie that combines peanut butter and banana for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana (about 120–130 g / 4.2–4.6 oz)
- 32 g (2 tbsp) smooth peanut butter
- 240 ml (1 cup) whole milk
- 60 g (1/4 cup) plain Greek yogurt (optional)
- 15–20 g (1 tbsp) honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 120 g (1 cup) ice or 6–8 ice cubes
- Pinch of fine salt (about 1/8 tsp)
- Optional add-ins: 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel the banana. If you prefer a frosty texture, slice and freeze it for at least 2 hours.
- Pour the whole milk into the blender, then add the Greek yogurt (if using), banana, and honey (if desired).
- Add the peanut butter and ice. Secure the lid.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.

Notes
For a thicker texture, use a frozen banana and reduce ice. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup based on the ripeness of the banana.
