Make this creamy, filling peanut butter banana smoothie in five minutes. It provides protein and natural energy, making it perfect for breakfast or post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large frozen banana, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber boost)
  • 45 ice cubes (if not using frozen banana)

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana slices, peanut butter, protein powder, almond milk, and flaxseed (if using) into your blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. If it is too thin, add a few more ice cubes.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie bowl base, reduce the milk to 3/4 cup and use only frozen banana.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for half the milk to increase creaminess and protein content.
  • Use natural peanut butter to control added sugar content.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
