Print Recipe

A quick, filling, and energizing protein shake combining peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy and nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 scoop (about 25 grams) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (or plant-based protein powder)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk or milk alternative (almond milk, oat milk, or cow’s milk)
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla-flavored (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending. Measure out the peanut butter, protein powder, milk, and yogurt. Freeze banana chunks for 30 minutes beforehand if you prefer a colder shake.
  2. Add the banana and peanut butter to the blender. Blend on medium speed for 20-30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add protein powder, milk, and Greek yogurt to the blender. Blend again for 15-20 seconds until well combined.
  4. Add 4-5 ice cubes to the blender. Pulse for about 10 seconds to crush the ice and chill the shake.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired. Blend for another 5 seconds.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon into the blender and pulse once to mix.
  7. Serve immediately in a tall glass or shaker bottle.

Notes

If shake is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add more ice cubes or frozen banana chunks and pulse again. Blend in stages to avoid clumps. Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and creaminess. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid peanut butter residue buildup.
