Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 pieces ripe bananas frozen for a colder, thicker smoothie
3 tablespoons natural peanut butter creamy preferred for smooth blending
1 cup milk dairy or plant-based options like almond or oat milk
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional for extra sweetness

Equipment

High-speed blender
Measuring cups and spoons
Spatula or spoon

Method

Place the frozen bananas into your high-speed blender, creating a thick, icy base.
Add the creamy peanut butter on top of the bananas, releasing a warm, nutty aroma.
Pour in the milk, watching the mixture start to loosen and become more fluid.
If you like a touch of extra sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup now.
Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high for about 30 to 45 seconds, until everything looks smooth, velvety, and well combined.
Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be creamy, thick, and free of lumps. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly to loosen it.
Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down any remaining mixture from the sides, then give it a quick pulse to ensure everything is evenly blended.
Pour the smoothie into glasses, allowing the rich, nutty aroma to fill the room.
Let it sit for a minute to settle, then enjoy immediately for the best creamy texture and flavor.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for a thicker, colder smoothie. Feel free to tweak sweetness or try different nut butters for variety.
