Description
A delicious creamy smoothie made with peanut butter and banana, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy preferred)
- 1 ripe banana (peeled and sliced)
- 1 handful ice cubes (frozen for chill)
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a microwave-safe container and warm it for about 15 seconds until it’s slightly heated and fragrant.
- Add the honey and ground cinnamon to the warm milk, then stir until fully dissolved. The mixture should smell sweet and spicy, with a soft simmering aroma.
- Pour the warm, spiced milk into your blender, followed by the peanut butter and sliced banana.
- Toss in the frozen ice cubes, which will help chill and thicken the smoothie.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is silky, creamy, and uniform in color with no visible chunks.
- Pause briefly to check the texture; if it’s too thick, add a splash more warm milk and blend again for a few seconds.
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, revealing a smooth, velvety surface with a warm, inviting aroma of cinnamon and peanut butter.
- If desired, sprinkle a tiny dash of cinnamon on top for extra aroma and presentation.
- Allow the smoothie to sit for a minute to settle, then take a moment to enjoy the cozy, fragrant aroma and smooth texture before sipping.
Notes
- This smoothie can be customized by adding other ingredients such as spinach or protein powder for extra nutrition.
- Make sure your banana is ripe for the best flavor.
