Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3-4 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Instructions
- Place the frozen bananas, milk, peanut butter, honey (if using), and vanilla extract into your blender.
- Start blending on a low speed, then gradually increase to high speed.
- If the mixture is too thick, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the blender moves freely.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Add ice cubes last if you desire a thicker, colder consistency, and blend until incorporated.
- Pour immediately into your favorite glass and enjoy the smooth texture.
Notes
- Using frozen bananas is the secret to a thick, ice-cream-like texture without needing much ice.
- For added creaminess, you can substitute half the milk with plain Greek yogurt.
- If your peanut butter is very stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before measuring.
