  • 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
  • 2 cups ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients, ensuring the bananas are ripe to maximize flavor.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place banana chunks, milk, peanut butter, honey, and ice cubes into a blender.
  3. Blend: Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and add more honey if you desire additional sweetness, then blend briefly again to mix.
  5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, optionally topping with your favorite toppings, and enjoy it immediately for the best taste and texture.
  6. Suggested Pairings: Serve alongside light dishes like whole grain toast with avocado, Greek yogurt with fresh fruit, or a handful of nuts for a balanced snack or meal.
  7. Storage and Reheating: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking. You can also freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays to blend for a quick frozen treat later.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas or reduce milk quantity for a thicker smoothie.
  • Add protein powder for an extra protein boost.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter to vary the flavor.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated or frozen for convenience.
