Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup favorite milk (almond or oat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter natural, runny preferred
  • 1 ripe banana preferably ripe for sweetness and aroma
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • a handful ice or frozen banana for a frosty texture

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Spoon
  • Glass or bottle

Method
 

  1. Pour the milk into your blender, filling it about halfway to start.
  2. Add the peanut butter to the blender, using a spoon to scoop it in, making sure it’s well-measured for a creamy texture.
  3. Break the banana into smaller chunks and add it to the blender for natural sweetness and smoothness.
  4. Spoon in the honey, which adds warmth and floral sweetness to balance the richness.
  5. If you’re using ice or frozen banana, toss it into the blender now for a frosty, chilled drink.
  6. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and glossy, with no lumps remaining.
  7. Check the texture—if it’s too thick, splash in a little more milk and give it a quick blend to loosen it up.
  8. Pour the smoothie into a glass or bottle, and let it sit for a minute to settle and meld the flavors.
  9. Optional: drizzle with a little extra honey or sprinkle cinnamon on top for added flavor.
  10. Enjoy immediately with a straw or spoon, savoring the warm aroma and velvety texture.
