Print Recipe

A quick and easy post-workout smoothie that combines peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a nourishing and satisfying energy boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) almond milk or dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
  • 4–5 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel the banana and break it into chunks. Measure out peanut butter, protein powder, and other ingredients.
  2. Pour 1 cup (8 fl oz) of almond milk or your chosen milk into the blender first.
  3. Add the banana chunks and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter.
  4. Add 1 scoop (about 30g) of protein powder and 1/4 cup (2 fl oz) Greek yogurt if using.
  5. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed or chia seeds and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  6. Add 4-5 ice cubes for a chilled texture.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  8. Check consistency; add more milk if too thick or more ice/banana if too thin and blend briefly.
  9. Pour into a glass or travel cup and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Natural peanut butter without added sugar or hydrogenated oils is best. Blend liquids first to avoid clumping. Adjust ice and milk to preferred consistency. Can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt.
