Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large frozen banana (about 120g / 4.2 oz)
- 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter (smooth, unsweetened)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approx. 30g / 1 oz)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (120ml / 4 fl oz)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and slice a large ripe banana, then freeze it for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
- Measure 3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and ½ cup (120ml) of almond milk. Have 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup ready if using.
- Place frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, protein powder, and almond milk in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides once or twice if needed.
- Check consistency: if too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again; if too thin, add more frozen banana pieces.
- Taste and add honey or maple syrup if desired, then blend briefly to mix.
- Pour into a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use frozen banana chunks for a creamy, thick texture. Natural peanut butter blends smoother and tastes less sweet than regular peanut butter. Blend just until smooth to avoid warming the smoothie and losing the frosty texture. If using a regular blender, let banana thaw slightly for easier blending. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; stir in almond milk before eating.
