Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Here’s a creamy and satisfying Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie recipe that’s perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana (frozen for a thicker texture)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 1/2 cup milk (any type: dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth and flavor)
• Ice cubes (2-3, optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)

Optional Add-ins:

• 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate for a protein boost)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flax seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if you prefer it sweeter)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: If you have time, use a frozen banana for extra thickness. This also makes the smoothie creamier and colder.
2. Blend: In a blender, add the banana, peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Adjust Consistency: Add a bit more milk if it’s too thick, or a few ice cubes for extra thickness.
4. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! You can sprinkle a little cinnamon or add a few banana slices or a drizzle of peanut butter on top for garnish.
