Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large banana preferably overripe or frozen
  • 3/4 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural and creamy preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for extra flavor
  • 1 pinch cinnamon optional for warming flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Glass or jar for serving

Method
 

  1. Peel the banana and break it into chunks, placing them into the blender.
  2. Pour in the milk, creating a base that will help blend everything smoothly.
  3. Add the peanut butter, which will give the smoothie its rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture.
  4. Sprinkle in the vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon for added warmth and depth.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, thick, and creamy with no chunks remaining.
  6. Stop the blender and check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly to loosen it. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  7. Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar, revealing its smooth, creamy, beige-colored surface.
  8. If desired, garnish with a drizzle of honey, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

For a thicker, colder smoothie, use frozen banana chunks. Feel free to customize with additional add-ins like berries or oats for extra texture and nutrition.
