About this recipe

This peanut butter banana smoothie tastes like a milkshake but is made from everyday breakfast ingredients: frozen banana, peanut butter, milk and Greek yogurt.

Frozen banana makes it thick and icy without diluting it with ice, and the yogurt adds creaminess and a little tang. It is a good choice when you need breakfast to go.

Equipment you'll need

Blender

Tips for success

Slice bananas before freezing; whole frozen bananas strain the blender.
If you only have fresh bananas, add a handful of ice for a cold, thick smoothie.
For a thicker smoothie, use less milk; for a thinner one, add more.

Substitutions and variations

Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Use any plant milk and a dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan.
Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter version, or 1/4 cup of oats for a more filling drink.

Storage

To store: Best enjoyed fresh. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day and shake or re-blend before drinking.
