A quick and easy smoothie blending ripe bananas, natural peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and milk for a creamy, nutritious boost perfect for breakfasts, snacks, or a guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 45 ice cubes (optional, skip if using frozen bananas)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas into chunks. For a colder, thicker smoothie, use frozen bananas.
  2. Place banana slices, 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 cup milk into the blender.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired, plus 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using.
  4. Add 4-5 ice cubes for a chilled smoothie, or skip if using frozen bananas.
  5. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice until smooth and creamy.
  6. If too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again; if too thin, add more banana or ice.
  7. Pour into a glass or to-go cup and serve immediately. Garnish with chia seeds or a dollop of peanut butter if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture. Warm thick peanut butter slightly before blending if needed. Drink immediately for best flavor and texture. Can substitute dairy-free yogurt and milk for vegan option. Add protein powder or spinach for variations.
