Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Creamy, filling, and naturally sweet—this is a classic high-energy smoothie that tastes like dessert but works for breakfast or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana (frozen for extra thickness)
• 1–2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 cup milk (dairy or almond/oat milk)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for protein + creaminess)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness)
• 4–6 ice cubes (if banana isn’t frozen)

Instructions

1. Add milk first to the blender.
2. Add banana, peanut butter, yogurt, and vanilla.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
5. Blend again briefly and serve cold.

🔥 Tips for the best texture

• Frozen banana = thicker, milkshake-like smoothie
• Natural peanut butter blends better than chunky types
• Add a splash more milk if it’s too thick

💪 Optional boosts

• Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
• Chia seeds or flax seeds for fiber
• Cocoa powder for a chocolate-peanut-banana version
• Oats for a more filling “meal smoothie”
