Here’s a super easy creamy peanut butter banana smoothie recipe for you.
The Best peanut butter banana smoothie
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit run down – I need to take better care of myself.
Especially, if I plan on keeping my sanity and health in tact.
A big part of this is eating right…which I typically do, at least at mealtimes.
But, where I always tend to drop the ball is an afternoon snack or two…
I’m trying to change my “peanut M&M loving” ways with some healthier options.
My new “go to” these days are easy and quick fixes, like this banana peanut butter smoothie, it’s the best!
Banana and peanut butter is a classic combo and makes for such a good smoothie.
It’s also a great way to start your day and is fast becoming my favorite healthy breakfast.
It’s all healthy ingredients and I think it’s a winner.
Healthy and Easy Smoothie Recipe
Here’s the Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie simple ingredients:
1 frozen banana for a thicker smoothie (fresh bananas work fine too!)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk – I’ve also used Greek yogurt and regular milk and both work great!
a handful of ice
tbs. flax seeds or Chia seeds for an extra boost of extra fiber
a few drops of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of my favorite smoothie ingredient – smooth natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
Optional: A scoop of high protein powder
Mix ingredients in a blender until a creamy texture is reached.
Lastly, enjoy this delicious drink!
I’m obsessed with my high-speed blender by Vitamix, and I have friends that swear by their Magic Bullets as the best blenders too.
It’s a great afternoon pick me up.
You can also add a handful of spinach, you won’t even taste it.
And, if you don’t like Almond Milk, feel free to use any type of milk you have.
Additionally, I also love this with skim milk.
Hope you enjoy this quick breakfast or after school snack treat!

That sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a huge fan of smoothies! I make them every morning. To ad a small bite of ginger to the banana smoothie gives a fresh – an a kind of healthy – twist to it.
this sounds delicious…and might try it as a snack today.
I always seem to lose a few pounds during stressful times, no wait, who said moving was stressful? Glad you are taking care of yourself with good potions~

Sounds great to me, although I would probably have to add another tablespoon or so of peanut butter!!
