Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie blending peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy, nourishing boost perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural, no-sugar-added preferred)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 1 large ripe banana into chunks.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the blender.
  3. Measure and add 1 scoop (about 30 grams) of protein powder.
  4. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of your milk of choice.
  5. Add 1/4 cup (60 grams) of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired.
  7. Add 4-5 ice cubes if a chilled, thicker smoothie is preferred.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor if desired.
  9. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed and blending again.
  10. Pour into a glass or travel cup and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Start blending with liquids at the bottom for smooth blending. Natural peanut butter blends better but stir before use. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or frozen banana chunks. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or soy yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
