Description
A creamy, high-protein smoothie featuring the classic combination of peanut butter and banana, boosted with Greek yogurt for added nutrition and optional enhancements like cinnamon or flax seeds.
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas, sliced
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)
- Optional additions: a pinch of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, a handful of spinach
Instructions
- To ensure the smoothest blend, add the liquid ingredients to your blender first. Pour in the milk, followed by the peanut butter and Greek yogurt.
- Next, add the frozen banana slices.
- If desired, include any optional sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, or additional boosts like cinnamon, flax seeds, or spinach.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately for optimal enjoyment. For an extra touch, a drizzle of peanut butter or a banana slice can be used as a garnish.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use non-dairy milk and a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Frozen bananas provide natural sweetness and creaminess without added ice.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup based on ripeness of bananas.
- Optional additions like spinach add nutrients without altering flavor significantly.
