Notes
- This recipe makes 2 16 ounce smoothies, but you can divide that into smaller smoothies if you’d like
- Use a high-speed blender: Creates a smoother, creamier consistency with no chunks
- Taste before serving: Adjust sweetness or peanut butter flavor to your preference
- Serve immediately: Fresh smoothies have the best flavor and texture
- Use ripe bananas: Adds natural sweetness and enhances overall flavor
- Freeze bananas first: Makes the smoothie thicker, colder, and creamier
- Adjust liquid as needed: Controls thickness for your perfect consistency
- Use creamy peanut butter: Blends smoothly and avoids a gritty texture
- Add ice gradually: Helps thicken the smoothie without watering down flavor
- Don’t skip the vanilla: Rounds out and enhances the overall taste
- Make ahead option: Freeze leftovers in ice cube trays and reblend later for a quick smoothie
