Ingredients

1 ⅓ cup frozen banana slices 200g

1 scoop whey protein isolate 31g

Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

Milk: Try a plant-based milk with a different flavor, like coconut milk or oat milk.
Peanut Butter: Experiment with almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for unique flavors.
Protein Powder: For whey or whey/casein substitutions, chocolate whey or cinnamon flavored whey/casein protein powder are great options for this recipe. For plant-based protein powder options, I'd go with a chocolate protein powder (pea protein blend) or peanut butter powder.

Recipe Variations

Make a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or sugar free chocolate chips (or by using chocolate protein powder).
Turn this into protein ice cream by putting the blended shake into an ice cream maker.
Add ground flax seeds for added dietary fiber and a superfood boost!

Storage Info

This peanut butter banana shake will stay well for 24 hours after blending if kept in the refrigerator. I like to keep my shakes in these thermal tumblers in the fridge and for on the go.

For busy mornings, prepare the ingredients for this peanut butter smoothie recipe the night before and store them in the smoothie cup (with airtight lid) in the refrigerator. Give it a quick blend in the morning, and you're good to go!
