Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and healthy smoothie packed with protein, peanut butter flavor, and natural sweetness from bananas. Perfect for a nourishing treat any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, frozen if possible
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural and unsweetened preferred)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or plain whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dairy or unsweetened almond/cashew milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice a large ripe banana. Freeze slices for at least 2 hours if possible for thicker creaminess.
  2. Place banana slices, peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and milk into a blender. Add cinnamon and honey if using.
  3. Add 3-4 ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker drink, especially if banana isn’t frozen.
  4. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides if necessary and blend again.
  5. Taste and adjust thickness or sweetness by adding more milk or honey/maple syrup as desired.
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Freeze bananas ahead for creamier texture. Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for best flavor. Blend in intervals to avoid chunks. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup only if needed. For dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk and yogurt.
