Salty & sweet peanut butter and banana smoothie makes a satisfying breakfast or afternoon snack, packed with protein and flavor!
PB + Banana Heaven!
We LOVE the combo of bananas and peanut butter and knew we had to try it in a delicious smoothie. We are so glad we did because this peanut butter banana smoothie is now a go-to breakfast recipe! This smoothie is also perfect as an after-school snack or to enjoy on a hot summer day.
This recipe is also great because it requires minimal ingredients. The peanut butter adds so much flavor and the bananas add natural sweetness and help make it creamier.
It’s so delicious, this drink is practically a dessert! For more favs, check out our classic Fruit Smoothie, Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Pineapple Banana Smoothie.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- An easy breakfast. Smoothies are the best quick and easy breakfast, and they hardly require any ingredients!
- A protein boost. This smoothie gets extra protein in addition to the peanut butter because we use Greek yogurt which is super high in protein and makes it extra creamy.
- Just blend! Simply add the ingredients to your blender and blend – it’s ready to enjoy in only 3 minutes!
