Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Ingredients

To make a three-ingredient smoothie, you’ll need crunchy or creamy peanut butter, two ripe bananas, milk of your choice, an optional pinch of salt and sweetener, and optional flavored or unflavored protein powder.

Or, add a third cup of quick or rolled oats for a peanut butter banana smoothie with oats. This will give you an even richer texture, like a peanut butter banana milkshake instead of a smoothie.

Feel free to substitute almond butter, cashew butter, pecan butter or even sunflower butter if you have allergies or just want a different flavor.

You can use any sweetened or unsweetened milk you have on hand. Plant-based milks are also effective.

Of course, if you want a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie, you can add a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder.

Use leftover bananas to make homemade banana muffins or banana ice cream.

Fancy a peanut butter smoothie without bananas? Frozen mango or frozen coconut meat both work well as substitutes here.

To create a dairy-free, plant-based shake, simply use your favorite type of non-dairy milk and optional plant-based protein powder in your recipe.

Almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, rice milk, and cashew milk are all good options.

Or, for an incredibly thick and creamy smoothie that tastes like a milkshake, try coconut milk. You can use leftover coconut milk to make a vegan chocolate mousse.

how to freeze bananas

Make sure the banana is overripe before you peel it. Ripe banana peels are at least partially speckled with brown.

Fully brown bananas are much sweeter than unripe yellow bananas, making them even better for smoothies.

Ripe bananas are peeled and halved or chopped. Place banana chunks in a large ziplock bag or freezer-safe container and freeze until ready to use.

This step can be done weeks or months in advance, so you’ll always have frozen bananas on hand ready to use when you crave a smoothie.

Or, if you want to make a smoothie the night before and have it as an instant breakfast the next morning, store leftovers in a lidded container in the refrigerator.

This easy recipe works in a regular blender or a high speed blender like the Vitamix, Ninja or NutriBullet. If you want a single serving smoothie, halve all ingredients and whisk everything in a portable personal blender.

While the blender is off, make a strawberry or avocado smoothie.
