Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Description
The Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie combines frozen banana slices, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk blended until smooth. The frozen banana contributes a creamy, cold base, minimizing the need for added ice and providing natural sweetness. Peanut butter enriches the smoothie with protein and a distinctive nutty taste. Brown sugar enhances sweetness moderately, complemented by vanilla extract’s subtle fragrance. Milk thins the mixture to a drinkable consistency and can be adjusted to preference.
The smoothie texture can be adjusted by varying banana ripeness, milk amount, or adding additional frozen banana slices. It is a quick, satisfying smoothie suitable for breakfast or snack times. The ingredient list is simple but balanced, yielding a harmonious blend of sweet banana and peanut butter flavors.
The recipe notes suggest flexibility in dairy or non-dairy milk choices, with the creamiest milk varieties producing the richest texture. Nut butter substitutions such as almond or sunflower seed butter can be used to accommodate dietary preferences or create different flavor profiles.
Ingredients
- 1 banana $0.26, frozen, sliced
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter $0.14
- 1 tsp brown sugar $0.02
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract $0.16
- 1 cup milk $0.18
Instructions
- Add the sliced banana, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk. If the smoothie is too thin, add more frozen banana. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Notes
- The choice of milk affects the smoothie’s creaminess; whole milk creates a richer texture than skim or non-dairy alternatives.
- Any nut or seed butter may replace peanut butter if desired, such as almond or sunflower seed butter.
- Adjust the thickness by adding more frozen banana for thickness or extra milk for a thinner consistency.
- Sweetness can be modified by increasing or decreasing the amount of brown sugar to taste.
