Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness without added sugar.
  • Choose natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils.
  • Adjust smoothie consistency by varying milk and ice quantities.
  • Pre-freeze banana slices for an extra chilled smoothie.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve maximum creaminess.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours.
  • Freeze smoothie in ice cube trays for easy use in bowls or cold drinks.
  • Avoid reheating; thaw frozen cubes in the fridge or blend frozen pieces with liquid.
