Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 piece ripe banana peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural preferred
  • ½ cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for extra sweetness
  • a handful ice cubes optional, for extra chill

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons
  • Glass

Method
 

  1. Add the peeled banana slices, peanut butter, and milk into your blender.
  2. Pour in the honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of extra sweetness.
  3. If you like your smoothie extra cold and frothy, toss in a handful of ice cubes.
  4. Secure the lid on your blender, then blend on high for about 30 seconds until everything looks smooth and creamy, with no chunks remaining.
  5. Stop the blender and check the texture—if it's too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly again for a lighter consistency.
  6. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, watching as it turns a rich, golden color with a silky, velvety texture.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or crushed peanuts on top before serving.
