Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe  bananas
  • 2 tablespoons  peanut butter
  • 1½ cups  milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ½ teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon  honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup  ice (optional, for thicker texture)

Method
 

  1. Add the milk to the blender first.
  2. Follow with bananas, peanut butter, vanilla, and sweetener if using. Add ice last if you want a colder, thicker smoothie.
  3. Blend on high until smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides.
  4. A good banana and peanut butter smoothie should be thick but drinkable.

Notes

It’s tempting to add everything to a smoothie. Seeds, powders, greens, spices.
This recipe doesn’t need that. Its strength is restraint. Every ingredient has a purpose, and nothing gets in the way.
Once you master the base, then you can experiment.
