Smoothie Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk (more or less to taste and as needed)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 cups frozen banana slices (or use 2 cups sliced fresh bananas and 4-6 ice cubes)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (all-natural, unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place all the ingredients — milk, Greek yogurt, frozen banana slices, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract — into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again. If it is too thin, blend in a few ice cubes until the desired thickness is reached.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen bananas or add ice cubes.
- Use unsweetened peanut butter to control sugar content and add natural flavor.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a vegan option.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can use plain yogurt for a lighter version.
- Adjust the amount of milk to reach your preferred smoothie thickness.
