This Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie made with powdered peanut butter delivers a creamy, nutty treat that satisfies any craving—in just minutes. It’s an ideal option for busy mornings or post-workout recovery, offering both convenience and nutrition in every sip.

Flavorful and Convenient Smoothie

What sets this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie apart is the use of powdered peanut butter, which offers the same rich taste and double the creaminess with fewer calories and less fat than traditional peanut butter. Paired with ripe banana, this smoothie boasts crave-worthy flavor, luscious texture, and smart nutrition, making it a must-have for your healthy recipe arsenal.

Secrets to a Creamy, Nutritious Smoothie

For the smoothest results, use a ripe banana and be sure your milk of choice is well-chilled. Powdered peanut butter (such as PB2) blends effortlessly and brings a robust, nutty flavor without being heavy. For added protein, toss in Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder. Want extra chill? Use frozen banana slices instead of fresh.

How to Make the Perfect Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Just combine all the ingredients in a blender and blitz until velvety. You can easily adjust the consistency: Add more milk for a thinner sip or a handful of ice cubes for a satisfying, frosty texture. It’s so simple, you can have this nourishing smoothie ready in under 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Pour your smoothie into a tall glass and sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon or a handful of granola on top for crunch. It also pairs perfectly with a quick homemade breakfast wrap for a power-packed meal on the go. For those who love a touch of indulgence, a drizzle of honey or a few chocolate chips can transform this into a dessert-inspired treat.
