[Recipes] Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie – A Quick, Low-Sugar Snack to Power You Through the Day

Hands-On Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large banana, halved and frozen (or 2 small bananas)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 2 tsp honey (or maple syrup/agave for vegan version)
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- Sliced banana (for topping)
- Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions:
Step 1:
Place the frozen banana, almond milk, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon into a blender.
Step 2:
Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Step 3:
Pour into a glass. Top with banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Freeze your bananas for a thicker, milkshake-like texture.
Change the milk to suit your taste: oat, soy, coconut, or dairy all work well.
Adjust sweetness by tasting before serving—maple syrup or agave are great alternatives to honey.
Try other spices like pumpkin pie spice or cardamom for a fun twist.
