Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural, slightly oily preferred
  • 1 ripe banana banana overripe for natural sweetness
  • 1 cup milk whole or almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional for added sweetness
  • a handful ice or use frozen banana slices

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Glass

Method
 

  1. Peel the banana and break it into smaller chunks.
  2. Add the banana chunks, peanut butter, milk, honey, and ice into a blender.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  4. Pause briefly to check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again until it’s silky and well combined.
  5. Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add a little more honey for extra sweetness; give it a quick blend to incorporate.
  6. Pour the smooth, frothy beverage into a glass. Optionally, drizzle with a bit of honey or sprinkle cinnamon on top for a finishing touch.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, or chill for 10-15 minutes for an even colder, thicker treat.
