High-Protein Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Nutrition per serving
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled, sliced and frozen
- 3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 200g plain Greek yogurt
- 240ml whole milk (or oat milk)
- 3 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- A handful of ice cubes
- 2 tbsp crushed peanuts, to top (optional)
Instructions
Slice the ripe bananas and freeze them for at least overnight, until completely solid.
Pour the milk into the blender first, then add the Greek yogurt and rolled oats.
Add the frozen banana, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and ice cubes.
Blend on high for 60–90 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until thick and completely smooth.
Taste and adjust the thickness with a splash more milk, or the sweetness with a little extra honey, to your liking.
Pour into two chilled glasses, drizzle with peanut butter, scatter over the crushed peanuts, and serve immediately.
This is the smoothie I make when breakfast needs to actually keep me full. Frozen banana makes it thick like soft-serve, peanut butter brings the richness, and Greek yogurt plus oats quietly push the protein up without any powdery aftertaste. It tastes like a treat, blends in five minutes, and carries you properly through the morning. No fancy equipment, no strange ingredients — just a blender, ripe bananas, and a spoonful of peanut butter doing its best work.
