Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 bananas, broken into chunks
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) peanut butter
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
Sweetener:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
Texture Enhancer:
- 2 cups (480 ml) ice cubes
Instructions
- Collect ripe bananas, cold milk, creamy peanut butter, golden honey, and chilled ice cubes from your kitchen workspace.
- Add peeled bananas, measured milk, smooth peanut butter, drizzled honey, and ice cubes directly into the blender container.
- Secure blender lid tightly and activate high-speed setting, processing the mixture for 25-35 seconds until ingredients transform into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible chunks.
- Gently swirl the blender to ensure complete integration of all ingredients, checking for a uniform pale golden-brown color and velvety texture.
- Select serving glasses and carefully pour the smoothie, allowing the thick liquid to cascade smoothly without splashing.
- Optional: Garnish with a light sprinkle of crushed peanuts or a banana slice on the glass rim for visual appeal and extra texture.
- Serve immediately while the smoothie remains cold and frothy, enjoying the creamy, nutty, and sweet flavor profile.
Notes
- Opt for ripe, spotty bananas to enhance natural sweetness and create a creamier texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help blend more smoothly and reduce ice crystallization.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version of the smoothie.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or chia seeds to boost nutritional value and make the smoothie more filling.
