Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (Printable)

Creamy blended mix of peanut butter, berries, and banana — a protein-rich morning pick-me-up.

# What You Need:

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

02 - 1 ripe banana

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

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 a 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 texture.

03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping 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 to thicken.

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

01 -

It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass, which means no excuse to skip breakfast ever again.
The peanut butter makes it taste like a milkshake but the berries keep it bright and fresh instead of heavy.

02 -

If you dump the peanut butter in first it will stick to the blade and never fully blend, so always put liquids and softer ingredients near the blade.
Letting the smoothie sit changes the texture completely, so if you are making it to go, shake it hard before drinking.

03 -

Freeze your bananas when they get too brown and you will always have smoothie ready fruit that doubles as natural sweetener and thickener.
Rinse the blender immediately after pouring because dried peanut butter and berry paste is a chore to clean later.
