Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Flavor Combo
If you’re a peanut butter banana person, this is the smoothie for you. It’s everything you love about peanut butter and banana, in a thick and cold smoothie. That tastes a lot like a milkshake.
But unlike a milkshake, it’s a lot healthier!
How to Make a Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
There is no prep work needed for this smoothie. It’s as simple as adding these four ingredients and blending until smooth. High-speed blenders work great.
Smoothie Ingredients
Bananas: You can use frozen banana slices, or you can peel a banana, break it into chunks and add it to the blender. Your choice.
Frozen bananas will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency. Fresh bananas will result in a more liquidity smoothie.
If you want frozen, slice a banana and freeze overnight, or for a few hours. I like to keep frozen banana slices in the freezer for quick and easy snacks.
Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is my favorite yogurt to add to smoothies. It’s packed with protein and is a nice balance to the sweetness of any fruit.
Milk: This recipe calls for 1/2 cup of milk, but that could be almond milk or any milk of your choosing.
Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter gives this smoothie the perfect consistency. Use your favorite brand.
Add-Ins
Here are some ideas for add-ins and a couple of add-afters.
- Honey — a drizzle is all you need.
- Mini chocolate chips
- Protein Powder
- Flax Seed
- Sliced Bananas
- Peanuts
- Chocolate Sauce – before or after. Drizzle some chocolate sauce over the smoothie or top with a handful of mini chocolate chips.
