Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1.5 cups milk dairy, almond, oat, or soy, adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 scoop whey protein powder vanilla or chocolate flavor, for a protein boost
  • 1 banana medium ripe banana frozen for best texture, adds natural sweetness
  • 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter or almond butter, adds healthy fats and creaminess
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for added fiber and nutrients
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract optional, enhances flavor
  • 5 cubes ice use if banana is not frozen or for extra chill

Equipment

  • High Speed Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula
  • Tall Glass

Method
 

  1. Place the milk in the blender first to help the blades spin freely.
  2. Add the protein powder, frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, chia seeds, and vanilla extract (if using).
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Check the consistency: if it’s too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Pour immediately into a tall glass and serve while cold and frosty.

Notes

This smoothie is highly customizable! Feel free to experiment with different fruits, protein powders, or nut butters to suit your taste. For an even thicker consistency, add more frozen banana or a few extra ice cubes.
