One of my favorite flavor combinations is nutty peanut butter and sweet banana, and this peanut butter banana smoothie brings the two together perfectly. It blends into a smooth, satisfying drink made with simple ingredients you likely already have on hand.

This easy smoothie is one of my family’s favorites and is always on rotation. If you love smoothie recipes, be sure to try a classic green smoothie or this pina colada smoothie!

Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients

Ingredients for peanut butter banana smoothie including banana, peanut butter, yogurt, and milk.

Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.

  • Milk: You can use whichever type of milk you prefer, like 2%, skim, non-dairy milk, or coconut milk. Try almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk for other textures and flavors.
  • Greek yogurt: Not only does Greek yogurt keep the consistency smooth, but it also adds extra protein as well.
  • Banana: I love to use frozen bananas when making smoothies because they make the texture extra thick. You can use fresh bananas too, but may need to add ice to thicken.
  • Peanut butter: Not only does it make your smoothie perfectly creamy, but it adds additional protein. Cashew butter, almond butter or any nut butter could be used.
  • Vanilla: I always include a splash of vanilla in my smoothies for an extra hint of flavor.
  • Honey: You can add honey to sweeten up your smoothie a bit. There is already some sweetness from the banana, so you don’t have to include it if preferred.

How to Make Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

  1. Add ingredients to blender and blend. Combine milk, Greek yogurt, banana, peanut butter, and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. A high-speed blender or high-powered blender is best for this recipe.
  2. Taste and adjust as needed. Taste and add honey to sweeten if needed. Add more milk to thin it out, or ice to make it thicker.
  3. Add any extras and enjoy! If desired, add vanilla protein powder or collagen for extra protein. Enjoy!

Add-in’s and Variations

  • Protein boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a more filling smoothie.
  • Collagen: Add a scoop of your favorite collagen powder; plain or vanilla flavors will work best.
  • Extra fiber: Blend in a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, oats or chia seeds.
  • Chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
  • Best enjoyed fresh: This peanut butter banana smoothie has the best texture right after blending. If needed, it can be kept in the refrigerator for a short time and stirred or re-blended before drinking.
