Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
Ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)

Instructions

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add the sliced banana, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can add ice cubes or more frozen banana slices.
Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired. If you like it thinner, add more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, garnish with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra boost!

Notes

You can use any nut butter you prefer, such as almond butter or cashew butter, for a different flavor.
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk) and skip the Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
If you want a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds.
For extra flavor, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
