Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (Printable Version)

Creamy peanut butter and berry blend with banana and yogurt — a quick, protein-rich drink for any time of day.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

02 - 1 ripe banana

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

04 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)

05 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

06 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

08 - Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

01 - Combine the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter in a blender jar.

02 - If using, add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a handful of ice cubes for added sweetness and texture.

03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust by adding more honey for sweetness, a splash of milk to thin, or extra ice to thicken.

05 - Pour into glasses and serve right away for the best flavor and texture.

01 -

The peanut butter makes it taste like dessert but it genuinely fuels you for hours.
Frozen berries mean you never have to worry about having fresh fruit on hand.

02 -

Frozen berries give a much thicker and creamier result than fresh ones, so unless you are adding ice, go with frozen.
Natural peanut butter can separate and make the smoothie slightly grainy if not blended long enough, so give it an extra fifteen seconds.

03 -

Freeze your bananas when they are perfectly ripe so you always have one ready, peeled and chopped into coins for easier blending.
A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the peanut butter flavor dramatically richer and more complex.
