Instructions
Preparation Steps
Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Top with bananas and ice.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 45 to 60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.
Taste and adjust: add a splash of milk to thin or a few ice cubes/frozen banana slices to thicken. Blend again briefly.
Pour into 2 glasses and serve immediately. Optional: garnish with banana slices, a dash of cinnamon, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Notes
For a dairy-free smoothie, use almond milk and a dairy-free yogurt. For extra protein, add 1.0 scoop vanilla protein powder and reduce honey to taste. Leftovers can be frozen in popsicle molds or ice cube trays and re-blended later with a splash of milk.
