Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Smoothies

Ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, yogurt, and cold milk blend into two thick breakfast smoothies, with ice added last for a cold, pourable finish.

5 min

2 smoothies

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas

2 tbsp creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup plain yogurt

3/4 cup cold milk, plus up to 3 tbsp for thinning

1 cup ice cubes

1 tsp honey, optional, only if more sweetness is needed

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon, optional

Standard blender · Measuring cups · Measuring spoons · Rubber spatula

Avoid peanut-butter clumps

Let the milk and yogurt surround the peanut butter first, then scrape down the jar before adding ice.

Serve right away

Pour into glasses as soon as the texture is adjusted; the ice keeps the smoothie thick and cold.

01. Measure milk and yogurt into the blender, then add banana pieces below the fill line.

02. Add peanut butter against the liquid and blend low for about 10 seconds; scrape down any streak clinging to the jar wall.

03. Blend the banana, milk, yogurt, and peanut butter until creamy, scraping any remaining pocket before adding ice.

04. Add ice only after the base is smooth, then blend until thick but moving steadily through the jar.

05. For a thinner pour, add milk 1 tbsp at a time; blend in up to 1 tsp honey only if the bananas need more sweetness.

06. Blend in optional cinnamon briefly, pour into two glasses, and serve promptly while the texture stays cold and thick.
