Peanut Butter Smoothie

Try this peanut butter smoothie, which is not only delicious but nutritious too! It's a perfect, high protein, energy breakfast smoothie.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp yogurt
50g (½ cup) granola
1 Tbsp shaved coconut
1 Tbsp cinnamon
½ of a banana
120ml (½ cup) milk
Ice

Instructions

Place all the ingredients, except the ice, in a blender.
Once it starts to liquefy, add about 6 or 7 ice cubes – adjust to your desire – and blend until all the ice cubes are crushed and the peanut butter is completely blended.
Voilà! You have yourself a nutritious and delicious smoothie that is either great as a meal itself or maybe a snack to curb that afternoon hunger.
Another important fact to note, it is the only solution I’ve found to eliminating a potent garlic or onion after taste.
Ingredient Adjustment Suggestions
Any organic peanut butter is the best option for this smoothie recipe. Not only are the generic ones, such as Jiffy or Skippy, super bad for you, they also curb the taste of granola. I recommend crunchy peanut butter for that extra nuttiness.
As for the yogurt, any plain or vanilla flavored yogurt is great. I wouldn’t recommend any Greek yogurt per say as it is already too thick and is harder to blend with the sticky peanut butter.
Fresh granola without any fruits is the best option for this recipe as well. I recommend a honey and almond blend from Whole Foods in the bin aisle – so good!
