Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Ingredients

• 2 ripe banana – peeled and sliced, frozen if possible
• 1.5 cups milk – cold
• 0.33 cup peanut butter – creamy, unsweetened if possible
• 0.5 cup plain yogurt – cold
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1. Prepare the bananas by peeling and slicing them; use frozen banana slices for a thicker, creamier smoothie.
2. Add the milk, peanut butter, plain yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to a blender.
3. Add the banana slices and the ice cubes on top of the liquids in the blender.
4. Blend on low speed to start breaking up the bananas and ice, then increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth and creamy, 45–60 seconds.
5. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly until everything is evenly mixed.
6. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with a little more honey if desired, blending again for a few seconds.
7. Pour the peanut butter banana smoothie into two chilled glasses and serve immediately while cold and frothy.
