Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup ice cubes if using fresh banana

Method
 

  1. Add the banana, almond milk, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon to a high-speed blender.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender to ensure a thick, frosty texture.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary.
  5. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass.
  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of extra peanut butter, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Make it Vegan: Use plant-based protein powder and swap honey for maple syrup.
  • Boost the Nutrition: Add a handful of fresh spinach for extra iron and vitamins (you won't taste it!).
  • Storage: Best consumed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (shake well before drinking).
