Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe bananas frozen and sliced for best texture
- 1.5 cups whole milk can substitute with oat or almond milk
- 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter natural, no-added-sugar preferred
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
- 1 tbsp honey optional, for extra sweetness
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon adds a warm aromatic flavor
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for a dessert-like aroma
- 0.5 cup ice cubes only if using fresh bananas instead of frozen
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter. To make this ahead of time, blend everything and pour into popsicle molds to freeze for a healthy frozen treat. If the smoothie is too thick, add an extra splash of milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
