Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (Print View)

Creamy blend of peanut butter, berries, and banana for a protein-rich morning boost.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
02 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (about 4.2 oz)

→ Fruit

03 - 1 cup mixed berries — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (fresh or frozen, about 5.3 oz)
04 - 1 small ripe banana

→ Nut Butter

05 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (about 1.1 oz)

→ Sweetener & Extras

06 - 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
07 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
08 - Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine the milk, Greek yogurt, mixed berries, banana, and peanut butter in a blender jar.
02 - Pour in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, if using.
03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Toss in a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker texture.
04 - Taste the smoothie and stir in a little more sweetener if desired, then blend briefly to incorporate.
05 - Divide between two glasses and enjoy immediately.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The peanut butter makes it thick enough to feel like a milkshake but the berries keep it bright and fresh.
  • Five minutes from hungry to happy and you only dirty one appliance.
02 -
  • Frozen berries give you a thicker creamier result without watering anything down the way ice can.
  • If your peanut butter is stiff and cold it might not blend smoothly so let it sit at room temperature first.
03 -
  • Cut your banana into coins before blending because large chunks can jam the blades and make the whole process take longer.
  • Rinse your blender immediately after pouring because dried peanut butter and berry residue are stubborn to clean later.
