Ingredients
Scale
1 large frozen banana, broken into chunks
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (for thickness and fiber)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
4–6 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions
Place the frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, protein powder, flaxseed, and almond milk into a high-speed blender.
Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker consistency.
Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, gradually increasing to high speed.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Pour immediately into a glass and serve.
Notes
For a thicker smoothie bowl texture, reduce the almond milk to 3/4 cup.
If you are tracking calories for weight loss programs, measure your peanut butter precisely.
This recipe is naturally sweet from the banana, so you do not need added sweeteners.
