Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large banana (cut into chunks and frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Ice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place all the ingredients in a blender in the order listed: almond milk, banana, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and any optional mix-ins like protein powder, flaxseed meal, or chia seeds. This order helps the blender process the thicker ingredients efficiently.
  2. Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Using a frozen banana gives the smoothie a creamy, milkshake-like texture without needing ice.
  • Adjust the amount of peanut butter for taste and calorie preference.
  • For added fiber and omega-3s, incorporate the flaxseed meal or chia seeds.
  • Choose your protein powder flavor to complement the peanut butter and banana flavors; vanilla works best for a classic taste.
  • This smoothie can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours but is best enjoyed fresh.
