Make this creamy, protein-packed peanut butter banana smoothie quickly for a filling breakfast or post-workout recovery drink. It tastes like dessert but fuels your body.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, protein powder, flaxseed, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) into a high-speed blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed.
  3. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it is too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a small piece of frozen banana.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, reduce the milk to 3/4 cup.
  • If you are preparing this for weight loss, skip any added sweeteners. The banana provides natural sweetness.
  • This recipe is a great alternative to complex meal planning; it is a 5 minute breakfast idea.
