Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy preferred
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 handful ice cubes frozen for extra chill
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Glass or jar

Method
 

  1. Place the sliced banana, peanut butter, milk, ice cubes, and honey into the blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is silky and smooth, with a slight frothy top.
  3. Check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again until it reaches your desired creaminess.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar, watching the creamy beige color and tiny specks of banana swirl inside.
  5. Garnish with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of crushed nuts if desired, then serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, chilled texture.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder during blending. Using frozen bananas enhances creaminess and chill, making every sip more satisfying.
