Prepare Ingredients.
Peel the banana and measure out 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Having all ingredients ready makes blending easier.
Tip: Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creamier texture. -
Add Ingredients to Blender.
Place the peeled banana, whey protein powder, natural peanut butter, and unsweetened almond milk into your blender jar. Adding liquids first can help the blending process.
Tip: Add almond milk first to help the blades move smoothly. -
Blend Smoothie.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure even blending.
Tip: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk and blend again. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Pour the smoothie into a glass. You can enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tip: For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes before blending.
Pro tips
- Use frozen banana slices to make your smoothie colder and thicker without adding ice.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
