Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, unsweetened
  • 1 scoop vanilla or plain whey or plant-based protein powder
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Toppings (optional): sliced banana, chopped peanuts or granola, fresh berries, unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the ripe banana and measure out the peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and milk.
  2. Add banana and peanut butter to blender and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add protein powder, Greek yogurt, and milk to the blender and blend for another 30-45 seconds until thick but scoopable. Add more milk if too thick.
  4. Mix in chia seeds and vanilla extract and blend for an additional 10 seconds.
  5. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if desired, blending briefly again.
  6. Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl using a spatula to scrape down the sides.
  7. Add desired toppings such as sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, granola, or berries.

Notes

Use a ripe banana for sweetness and creaminess. Natural peanut butter without added sugar is best. Adjust milk quantity based on protein powder type to avoid chalkiness. Blend in stages to prevent clumping. Add toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy. Store leftover base in fridge up to 24 hours; stir in milk before eating. Avoid freezing to maintain texture.
