Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie combining peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy, satisfying energy boost perfect for busy mornings or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened preferred)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 1 large ripe banana into chunks.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the blender. Warm slightly if stiff.
  3. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder on top.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk (almond, dairy, or oat).
  5. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt.
  6. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  7. Add 4-5 ice cubes.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon chia or flaxseeds.
  9. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth, scraping sides halfway through.
  10. If too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly.
  11. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with cinnamon or banana slices.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Warm peanut butter slightly if stiff for easier blending. Add protein powder last and blend at high speed to avoid clumps. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Store in fridge up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking.
