Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces ripe bananas preferably frozen for extra thickness
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter creamy for smooth texture, crunchy if you like some bite
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for added sweetness
  • 1/2 cup ice frozen or regular ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Spatula
  • Glass or cup

Method
 

  1. Add the ripe bananas, peanut butter, and milk into your blender. Secure the lid tightly and start blending on low speed.
  2. Gradually increase the speed to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a velvety, uniform texture with no chunks.
  3. Add the honey and ice to the blender. Secure the lid again and blend on high for another 15-20 seconds, until the smoothie is thick, frosty, and well chilled.
  4. Stop the blender and check the texture. The smoothie should be thick, frosty, and velvety. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Once the desired consistency is achieved, pour the smoothie into glasses. You can give it a gentle swirl with a spatula if needed to even out the surface.
  6. Finish by garnishing with a slice of banana or a drizzle of honey if you like. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture, and enjoy the rich, velvety taste!

Notes

For an extra indulgence, sprinkle crushed peanuts or a dash of cinnamon on top before serving.
