Ingredients
Scale
1 large frozen banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional, for fiber)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
3–4 ice cubes (if banana is not fully frozen)
Instructions
Place the frozen banana, peanut butter, protein powder, flaxseed meal (if using), and almond milk into a high-speed blender.
Add the ice cubes last.
Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again briefly.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to 3/4 cup.
Use a frozen banana for the best creamy texture without needing much ice.
This recipe is a great base; add spinach for greens or a teaspoon of honey for extra sweetness.
