Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces ripe bananas with brown speckles, frozen for extra thickness
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter chunky style preferred
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • ice cubes none ice cubes enough to chill and froth
  • optional cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Glass or jar

Method
 

  1. Peel the ripe bananas and break them into chunks, then place them into your blender.
  2. Add the natural peanut butter directly on top of the bananas, allowing its rich aroma to mingle with the fruit.
  3. Pour in the milk, aiming for a smooth, pourable consistency, and then drizzle in the honey for sweetness.
  4. Toss in a handful of ice cubes to chill the smoothie and give it that frosty, thick texture.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend everything on high for about 30-40 seconds, until it looks smooth, creamy, and frosty with no lumps.
  6. Stop the blender and check the texture — it should be thick, velvety, and chilled. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly; if too thin, add more ice or banana and blend again.
  7. Pour the smoothie into a glass or jar, and if desired, sprinkle a little cinnamon or vanilla on top for added warmth and aroma.
  8. Enjoy immediately while it’s thick, frosty, and bursting with nostalgic peanut butter banana flavor.

Notes

For an extra protein boost, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of oats. Feel free to customize sweetness with more honey or maple syrup, and experiment with flavor add-ins like cinnamon or vanilla.
