Ingredient Notes:
(For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card below)
- Bananas: frozen bananas to keep the smoothie cold and adds the perfect touch of natural sweetness
- Peanut Butter: use your favorite creamy peanut butter or powdered peanut butter
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt or your favorite non dairy yogurt
- Milk: Cows milk or your favorite plant-based milk
- Vanilla Extract: to add a little extra flavor boost
- Cinnamon
- Ice (optional): I usually add a small handful of ice to make the smoothie extra thick and creamy. If you use frozen bananas you won’t necessarily need to add it!
How to make a peanut butter and banana smoothie:
- In a high powered blender, add in all ingredients and blend on high for 30 seconds – 1 minute or until smooth and creamy.
- If necessary, add in more milk or frozen bananas to reach desired smoothie consistency. More milk will thin it out, more frozen bananas will make it thicker!
Expert Tips and Variations
- Make it a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie by adding in 1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- Add in nutritional boosters like ground flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds or a scoop of your favorite protein powder!
- Add in veggies if you’d like: a handful of spinach or frozen cauliflower would be perfect additions.
- Adjust your smoothie: add more liquid if you prefer it more on the thinner side or add more frozen bananas to thicken it up!
- Taste and adjust: add a touch of honey if you feel like it needs to be sweeter.
- Use ripe bananas: using frozen ripe bananas will help give the smoothie the perfect amount of natural sweetness.
- Use frozen fruit: this helps to keep the peanut butter banana smoothie thick and cold.
- Top off the smoothie with a drizzle of peanut butter and banana coins if you’re feeling extra!
