Print Recipe

A quick and easy protein shake combining frozen bananas and peanut butter for a creamy, nutritious energy boost perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (about 25g protein, vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4–5 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 medium bananas into 1/2-inch pieces and freeze overnight or at least 4 hours until solid.
  2. In a blender, combine frozen banana slices, peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, milk, ground cinnamon, and honey or maple syrup if using.
  3. Add 4-5 ice cubes to keep the shake cold and thick.
  4. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, blending for 45-60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed, then blend again until smooth.
  5. Check consistency; if too thick, add about 2 tablespoons more milk and pulse again. If too thin, add more frozen banana pieces or ice cubes and blend.
  6. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for best flavor and nutrition. For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. Frozen bananas are essential for creamy texture; if using fresh bananas, add extra ice cubes and blend longer. Shake tastes best fresh but can be refrigerated up to 24 hours; stir before drinking if separation occurs.
