Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas preferably frozen for extra creaminess
  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter smooth or crunchy based on preference
  • 1 cup frozen spinach or kale thoroughly frozen for best texture
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen bananas and milk to your blender. Blend on high for about 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with a frothy texture.
  2. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Add the peanut butter and frozen greens to the blender. Continue blending on high for another 30 seconds, until the greens are fully incorporated and the mixture turns a vibrant green color with a silky texture.
  4. Pour in the honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie. Blend again for a few seconds to combine.
  5. Check the consistency; it should be thick, smooth, and vibrant green. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly until desired texture is reached.
  6. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a drizzle of honey for presentation.

Notes

Using frozen greens and bananas helps create a creamy, chilled texture without extra ice. Feel free to customize with other fruits or nut butters for variety.
