Ingredients
Smoothie Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas, peeled and frozen Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness.
- 2 cups whole milk (or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk) Substitute for dairy-free preferences.
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Natural peanut butter recommended.
- 2 tablespoons honey Adjust sweetness to taste, can substitute with maple syrup.
Instructions
Preparation
- Make sure your bananas are peeled and frozen. This step is crucial for a thick and creamy texture. If your peanut butter isn’t at room temperature, microwave it for just a few seconds to soften it up.
- Add the frozen bananas, milk, peanut butter, and honey into your blender. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and continue blending until everything is smooth—aim for about 1 minute in total.
- Check the consistency. You’re looking for a smooth, creamy texture. If it looks chunky, give it another quick buzz.
- Pour your smoothie into your favorite glass, give it a little garnish if you like, and enjoy!
Notes
For a thicker smoothie, use less milk or add ice. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Can also freeze.
