Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk (or water)
- 1 banana cut into pieces, frozen
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds ground
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Handful of ice (optional; to thicken)
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, frozen banana, peanut butter, flax seeds, and vanilla. Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the blender as needed.
- At this point you can make adjustments, adding an extra tablespoon of water or milk if the smoothie isn't blending well, or you can add a handful of ice cubes to help it thicken up into more of a slushy texture. Just keep in mind that additions will dilute the flavor slightly, so keep them to a minimum. You can also add a squeeze of honey, or a splash of maple syrup, for extra sweetness.
- Once the smoothie is blended, it's ready to serve right away for the best taste and texture. Top with extra sliced banana or a drizzle of peanut butter, if you'd like.
