Easy Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie (3 Ingredients Only!) - Creamy, Quick, and Satisfying
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana (fresh or frozen; frozen gives a thicker, colder smoothie)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; natural or regular both work)
- 1 cup milk (any kind: dairy, almond, oat, soy, or cashew)
- A few ice cubes if using a fresh (not frozen) banana
- Pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla for a flavor boost
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds for extra fiber and omega-3s
Instructions
- Prep your banana. If you like a super thick smoothie, peel and slice a ripe banana and freeze it in a bag for at least 2 hours. If using fresh, just peel and break it into chunks.
- Add ingredients to the blender. Banana first, then peanut butter, then milk. This order helps everything blend smoothly.
- Blend until creamy. Start on low, then move to high. Blend about 30–45 seconds, or until completely smooth and frothy.
- Adjust texture. Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Toss in a few ice cubes or a bit more banana and blend again.
- Taste and tweak. Want it sweeter? Add a touch of honey or maple. Add cinnamon or vanilla if you like a warmer flavor.
- Pour and enjoy. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
