Peanut Butter Smoothie
Even with a no-sugar peanut butter, this 4-ingredient protein-packed Peanut Butter Smoothie recipe tastes sweet and light while keeping you full. Adding a frozen banana makes all the different temperature and texture-wise.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk or other milk (see note 1)
- 1 small banana frozen
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter see note 2, creamy
- 1 coop protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt (see note 3)
Instructions
- In the bottom of a blender, add almond milk, banana, peanut butter, and protein powder or Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth.
Notes
- Milk: Use regular cow's milk or your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or soy milk. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
- Peanut butter: I love Crazy Richard’s brand peanut butter because it is made with only nuts (no added sugars or palm oil) and they support American peanut farmers, using only 100% US-grown peanuts.
- Protein powder: Use either your favorite vanilla protein powder or ½ cup Greek yogurt.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of smoothie, enough for 1 serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some separation may occur, so shake or stir to combine before enjoying.
