Notes

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Add Liquid First
    Pour milk or your chosen milk alternative into the blender. This helps everything blend more easily.
  2. Add Bananas and Peanut Butter
    Slice the bananas and add them in. Follow with peanut butter for that rich, nutty flavor.
  3. Add Protein Powder and Extras
    Scoop in your favorite protein powder. Add honey, cinnamon, or vanilla for extra flavor, if desired.
  4. Add Ice (If Needed)
    If using fresh bananas, toss in about 1 cup of ice to chill and thicken the smoothie.
  5. Blend Until Smooth
    Blend everything on high speed for 30–45 seconds or until creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed.
  6. Taste and Adjust
    Taste test! Add more milk if it’s too thick, or a little sweetener if it’s not sweet enough.
  7. Serve and Enjoy
    Pour into glasses or smoothie jars. Garnish with banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or crushed peanuts for fun.
