Ingredients
  • 2 medium Frozen Bananas
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1-2 teaspoons Honey or Maple Syrup
  • ½ cup Ice Cubes

Preparation

Gather all ingredients. Ensure bananas are frozen for the best smoothie consistency. Frozen bananas provide a creamy texture without needing excessive ice.

Blending the Smoothie

Combine the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and ice cubes into a high-powered blender.

Achieving the Perfect Consistency

Blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. If it's not sweet enough, add more honey or maple syrup to taste.

Serving Suggestions

Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of peanut butter for extra flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?

    Yes, but the smoothie will be less creamy. You'll need to add more ice to compensate.
  • Can I substitute the peanut butter with another nut butter?

    Absolutely! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives.
  • How long will the smoothie last in the refrigerator?

    It's best consumed immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to shake well before drinking as it may separate.
