This sweet, creamy smoothie boasts nearly 17 grams of protein. If you're a vegan, just leave out the dairy and add 1/2 cup or so of your favorite milk. The protein content drops a bit, but it's still a nice, healthy dose overall.

1 banana, frozen
1/2 cup almond milk
1/4 cup peanut flour
1 tablespoon peanut butter
4 drops liquid stevia or other sweetener
1 handful of ice

  • For an ice cream-like texture, freeze your banana overnight. If you don't have a high speed blender, slice it up first so it's easier to blend. You can also make it with a regular banana, it just won't be as thick.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE



Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie image

I just started back to the gym after having my second child two months ago and was experimenting to find a smoothie high in protein and low in sugar to augment my workouts. I have this almost daily! It tastes like a decadent milk shake, and yet it is actually good for you. The real trick is to use previously sliced and frozen bananas. I buy bananas by the armload and then when they start to get riper than what I would want for eating, I peel and slice and put in Ziploc freezer bags. Then they can be used in almost any recipe asking for fresh ripe bananas.

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups sliced frozen bananas, still frozen (approx)
6 -8 ounces milk (I use 1%)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (I use Prostar brand)
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
3 packets Splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Break apart banana slices as well as you can, by using a butter knife or pounding them on counter.
  • It is not necessary to have all pieces separated, depending on the power of you blender (my Oster has no problem with this).
  • Put all ingredients in blender.
  • Start on low chop or grind setting, as if trying to blend ice.
  • When all of the banana slices have been blended and are no longer visible, blend for 30 seconds on blend mode.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your smoothie will be. You can also freeze your bananas ahead of time for a creamier texture.
  • Add a variety of fruits and vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits and vegetables in your smoothie. Some popular options include berries, spinach, kale, and carrots.
  • Use a good quality protein powder: There are many different protein powders on the market, so it's important to choose one that is high-quality and contains the amino acids that your body needs.
  • Add healthy fats: Healthy fats can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking your smoothie. Some good sources of healthy fats include avocado, nuts, and seeds.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk: If you're looking for a dairy-free option, unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk are both good choices. You can also use regular milk if you prefer.
  • Sweeten your smoothie naturally: If you need to sweeten your smoothie, use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. Avoid using refined sugars like white sugar or corn syrup.
