Make this creamy, high protein peanut butter banana smoothie for a quick, filling breakfast or post-workout recovery drink. It tastes like a treat but fuels your body.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium frozen bananas
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for fiber)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for extra thickness and staying power)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (if bananas are not fully frozen)

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen bananas, almond milk, peanut butter, protein powder, and flaxseed (if using) into a high-speed blender.
  2. If you are adding oats, add them now.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed.
  4. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  5. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it is too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a small piece of frozen banana.
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a smoothie bowl texture, reduce the milk to 3/4 cup and use only frozen bananas.
  • To keep this recipe dairy-free, confirm your protein powder is plant-based.
  • This recipe contains no added sugar unless you choose to add a sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
