Ingredients
  • 1 medium, ripe Banana
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
  • 1 scoop (whey or plant-based) Protein Powder
  • 1 cup (dairy or non-dairy) Milk
  • 1/2 cup Ice Cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)

Preparation

Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the banana is ripe for optimal sweetness. If you're using frozen banana slices, you can reduce the amount of ice needed.

Blending

Place all ingredients into a blender. Start with the milk as the base, then add the banana, peanut butter, protein powder, ice cubes, and any optional ingredients like chia seeds or honey.

Blending Consistency

Blend on high speed until completely smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.

Serving

Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few chia seeds or a drizzle of peanut butter on top.

FAQ

  • Can I use frozen banana?

    Yes, using a frozen banana will make the smoothie thicker and colder. You may need to add a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Can I substitute the peanut butter with almond butter?

    Absolutely! Almond butter, or any other nut butter, makes a great substitute. The taste will be slightly different, but still delicious.
  • Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the texture may change, and it may separate slightly. Give it a good stir before drinking.
