Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Peel 2 bananas and cut into chunks
  • Scoop out 4 tbsp of smooth peanut butter
  • Pour 1 cup of almond milk (or any milk of choice) into a blender
  • Add bananas, peanut butter, 1 tbsp of honey or Maple syrup, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of ice cubes (optional) to blender
  • Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy
  • Pour smoothie into glasses and serve immediately

Notes

1. Use ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are fully ripe before using them in this smoothie. Overripe bananas are easier to blend and give a sweeter taste.
2. Add liquid first: Pour the almond milk (or any milk of choice) into the blender first before adding other ingredients. This helps to lubricate the blades and ensures a smoother blend.
3. Use a high-speed blender: A high-speed blender ensures all the ingredients blend together smoothly and create a creamy texture.
4. Add sweetener to taste: The recipe calls for 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup, but adjust to your liking. Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if needed.
5. Don't skip the vanilla extract: The vanilla extract enhances the flavour of the smoothie and gives it a more rounded taste.
6. Add ice if desired: The ice cubes are optional, but they give the smoothie a thicker texture and a bit of extra chill.
7. Serve immediately: This smoothie is best served right away to ensure the creamy texture and flavour are at their best.
