Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (Printable)

Creamy peanut butter blended with sweet berries and banana for a quick, protein-rich drink.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

02 - 1 ripe banana, peeled

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)

04 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)

05 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

08 - Ice cubes (optional, for thicker consistency)

01 - Place the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter into a high-speed blender.

02 - If desired, add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a handful of ice cubes for added sweetness and thicker texture.

03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust by adding more honey for sweetness, additional almond milk to thin, or more ice cubes to thicken.

05 - Pour into glasses and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.

01 -

It tastes like a milkshake but fuels you like a proper meal with ten grams of protein per glass.
Frozen berries mean you never have to worry about having fresh fruit on hand.
The whole thing comes together in five minutes with zero cooking and almost no cleanup.

02 -

If your blender is not very powerful, let frozen berries sit for five minutes at room temperature before blending or you will end up with chunky bits of ice.
Natural peanut butter separates so stir it well before measuring or your smoothie will be either too oily or too dry depending on what part of the jar you scoop from.

03 -

Freeze your bananas peeled and broken into chunks so they are always ready to go and you never waste a browning one again.
Add a tiny pinch of salt to the blender because it enhances the peanut butter flavor in a way that surprises everyone who tries it.
