Recipe: Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie from 100 Days of Real Food

One day I was out of berries and my girls wanted a fruit smoothie so, inspired by a blog reader, we tried a peanut butter banana smoothie instead and…yum! It doesn’t get much easier than this, and we find smoothies to be the perfect supplement to almost any breakfast or lunch. These are also super good frozen too, but more on that later.

    I would use the knives for everyday cooking. I’m always new recipes.

    I use whole milk instead of yogurt and still use ice cubes with the frozen bannana

    Can you clarify the amount of milk? Thanks!

      Hi there. You can add milk for the consistency you’d like. The whole milk is there to clarify the type of yogurt. :)

    This sounds delicious! I’ve just recently started doing smoothies. I was making one yesterday, but had ran out of bananas. I had Dole Dippers (frozen banana slices dipped in dark chocolate) so I tried that. The taste was fantastic! I used 1/2 cup greek vanilla yogurt, 1 cup almond milk, strawberries, the Dole Dippers, oatmeal, and a handful of spinach. I bet they would be great with the peanut butter smoothie! (think Reeses peanut butter cups!)

    I thought bananas and peanut butter were bad for “belly fat”

    The peanut butter sounds great. We toss all sorts of things in smoothies but I haven’t tried peanut butter.

    I made this yesterday and loved it! As a single person I am wondering… if I made the whole recipe, would the remaining servings keep OK in the refrigerator? Or would the banana start to oxidize and the smoothie separate? I’d love to not have to clean the blender every time I want this treat! :)

      We put leftover smoothies in the freezer – they keep great but you will have to give them a little time to thaw.

      Hi Bridget. The banana won’t “keep” very well and would get frothy pretty quickly. ~Amy

    Just tried this as an after-school snack. It was a home run. I threw in an avocado (mostly just to use it up before it went bad) and it was deeeelish. It’s also really filling; my kids didn’t immediately complain that they were still hungry like they do after finishing most snacks. I love that I’ll be able to put this in a thermos and bring it along if we need a snack on the go. Simple, quick, portable, yummy AND nutritious. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks again!

    This was wonderful! I used dark chocolate almond milk instead of whole. It turned out to be a chocolate, peanut butter, banana masterpiece!!!
    Thanks for the recipe!

    Hello Lisa. Here is another smoothie recipe: https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/05/17/recipe-tasty-smoothies/. There are endless possibilities with smoothie creations! Have fun with them. Nut butters, yogurt, etc. will add protein to any smoothie. Enjoy. ~Amy

    After reading the label of our protein powder, we ditched it immediately. This is a fabulous alternative. I used plain greek yogurt which at first had a “unique” flavor (tangy?) but it grew on me and filled me up! My 1 year old loved it too! Any other protein shake/smoothie recipes?

    Great! Thank you so much! We just got a Trader Joe’s here, so I’ll be sure to look for it. :)

    This may have already been asked/answered, but is the plain yogurt sweetened at all? I just looked at my “plain” yogurt and realized it says “sweetened 1% milkfat vitamin D” added. So I’m not sure if this really qualifies as plain. It contains organic sugar and organic corn starch. What ingredients *should* be in an organic plain yogurt? I’m getting confused! :)

      Hello Becky. My plain organic yogurt contains WHOLE milk, natural pectin (from apple peel), and cultures. No need should for anything else. ~Amy

    I make something like this all the time – my toddler loves it. We use organic almond or soy milk + banana + peanut butter. Delish!

    Hello there! Thank you for your wonderful advice. I have some friends who recently have said peanut butter is horrible for you and etc. What are your thoughts on peanut butter?

      Hi Samantha. Peanut butter is nutritious but in its non-organic form can be heavily contaminated. Buy an organic peanut butter with only one or two ingredients (the second being a little salt). If you like it slightly sweetened you can use a bit of honey. ~Amy
