Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy preferred
  • 1 frozen banana banana ripe and frozen
  • 1 cup milk almond, cow, or oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1 dash cinnamon optional, for flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Place the measured peanut butter, frozen banana, milk, honey, and cinnamon into your blender.
  2. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth, velvety, and free of lumps. You’ll hear a consistent whirring sound and see the ingredients fully combined.
  3. Pause briefly to check the texture; it should be thick, creamy, and slightly frothy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly to loosen.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired—add a tiny drizzle of honey and blend for a few more seconds if needed.
  5. Pour the smoothie into glasses, watching as it swirls into a rich, tan hue with a smooth, inviting surface.
  6. Optional: sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for an extra flavor boost.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy its thick, velvety texture and nutty aroma, or refrigerate briefly for a cooler drink.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, use frozen bananas and a high-speed blender. Feel free to customize with additional flavorings like vanilla or cocoa powder.
