Print Recipe

A quick and easy high-protein smoothie combining banana, peanut butter, and whey protein isolate for a nutritious boost that supports weight loss and keeps you full longer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana (about 7–8 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate (about 30g protein)
  • ½ cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4–5 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 1 large ripe banana into chunks.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of creamy natural peanut butter into the blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein isolate and ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt to the blender.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk.
  5. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  6. Add 4-5 ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides if needed.
  8. Taste and adjust thickness or sweetness by adding more milk or sweetener if necessary.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a ripe banana with some brown spots for natural sweetness without bitterness. Natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt blends best. For a silkier smoothie, blend banana and milk first before adding peanut butter and protein powder. Add a small pinch of salt to balance sweetness if desired. Frozen bananas can be used for a thicker, colder smoothie. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. For keto, replace banana with avocado and use low-carb protein powder.
