Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe
This winning combination of bananas and peanut butter uses a few tricks to create a creamy smoothie that is so yummy it can pass as dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 cup lactose-free yogurt
- 1 peeled, frozen medium banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Add chia seeds to a dry blender (do not add to wet blender or they will stick to sides) and process into a powder, about 30 seconds. Turn off the blender. Chia seed powder may stick to the cover and sides of the blender; tap the sides or scrape down with a spatula to gather them in the bottom.
2. Add yogurt, frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, and vanilla. Blend for 60 seconds. Stop and scrape down blender, moving any chunks that did not blend. Cover and pulse blender again until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds.
Notes
This recipe makes 2 servings; it’s hard to make less in a full-size blender. Share with someone, or refrigerate half of it to eat later that day, or for up to 2 days. This smoothie will stay thick, so it is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack.
