Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the banana and break it into chunks.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and cut them in half if they are large.
- Place the banana chunks and strawberry pieces into your blender.
- Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the blender. You can use a measuring spoon to ensure accuracy.
- Scoop 1 serving (usually about 30g) of whey protein powder into the blender. The flavor of the protein powder can be vanilla, chocolate, or unflavored, depending on your preference.
- Pour 1 cup (240g) of almond milk into the blender. You can use plain or flavored varieties, depending on your preference.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can add a bit more almond milk and blend again. For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a slice of banana, a whole strawberry, or a drizzle of peanut butter on top.
Tips:
- Freeze the banana and strawberries ahead of time for a thicker, more refreshing smoothie.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale for an extra boost of vitamins and minerals without altering the taste.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for a healthier option.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.
- Blend the ingredients in stages, starting with the liquid and protein powder to ensure they mix well before adding the fruit and peanut butter.
Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a post-workout boost, or a healthy snack, this banana strawberry peanut butter protein smoothie is the perfect choice. It's easy to make, full of nutrients, and absolutely delicious. Enjoy the amazing blend of flavors and the nourishing benefits it provides!
