Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe

We made this peanut butter banana smoothie recipe the other day and it was delicious. The kids especially loved that I topped them with whipped cream for an extra special treat. They felt very “adult” like drinking such “fancy”smoothies.

As you know, our family has been on quite a smoothie fix lately. We are loving them!

Ingredients:

• 2 bananas
• 1 cup ice
• 2 cups milk (can use almond milk and can also substitute 1/2 cup of greek yogurt for some of the milk)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

How to make peanut butter banana smoothie recipe:

1. Break banana into large pieces.
2. Place all ingredients in your blender.
3. Blend 1-2 minutes until smooth.
4. Serve with whipped cream on top (optional)

Banana peanut butter greek Yogurt smoothie idea:

Now I like to sneak in greek yogurt in my kids for extra protein. You can easily swap out 1/2 to 1 cup of milk for 1/2 to 1 cup of greek yogurt. That way you will have extra protein in your new banana peanut butter greek yogurt smoothie.

Peanut butter banana almond milk smoothie idea:

Now you can also make a Peanut butter banana almond milk smoothie just by swapping out the milk for almond milk. I also have done this. I get almond milk on sale all the time and stock up when I do. I can make the slightly healthier switch and my kids don’t even notice.

Now that we have talked all about these different peanut butter banana smoothie recipes, make sure you invest in a good blender.

I have a Vitamix and I love it. It is old and is still going on strong. It is quite the investment to get one, but it is one investment that won’t disappoint. It will be the last blender you ever had to buy. Amazon has several of them on sale right now for a great price.

Now if a Vitamix isn’t in your budget, then I recommend a Waring professional blender. They are going to get the job done. Now they are not as great as a Vitamix, but they are the next best for a much more reasonable cost. Amazon has several Waring blenders on sale right now. 

Either way, I know you will be able to enjoy delicious and smooth fruit smoothie with any one of these blenders.

Freezer idea: You can also freeze these in individual cups. Then when you are ready to eat, just let them sit on the counter for a few minutes. Then serve with a spoon. You will have more of an “ice cream” treat.

This is a very easy treat for the kids and much healthier than ice cream. I hope your family enjoys it too.
