Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces ripe bananas fresh or frozen
  • 3-4 tablespoons peanut butter creamy preferred
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • a pinch cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Peel the bananas and add them to your blender, whether fresh or frozen, for a thick, creamy base.
  2. Scoop in the peanut butter, preferably creamy, which will give the smoothie its rich, salty flavor and smooth texture.
  3. Pour in the milk, aiming for about a cup, to help blend everything into a silky, frosty consistency.
  4. Drizzle in the honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, adjusting to taste.
  5. Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth and depth of flavor, if using.
  6. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds, until everything is smooth, thick, and frosty with no lumps.
  7. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If it’s too thin, toss in an extra banana or a handful of oats for extra creaminess.
  8. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and if desired, garnish with a swirl of peanut butter or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a pretty touch.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cool, creamy, and comforting flavors.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, toast the oats before adding or include a handful of chocolate chips for a treat. Use frozen bananas for an extra thick and frosty texture. Customize sweetness and spices according to your preference.
