Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie (Print)

Creamy blend of peanut butter, mixed berries, and Greek yogurt for a protein-rich morning boost.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based

02 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

03 - 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), fresh or frozen

04 - 1 small ripe banana

05 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

06 - 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, adjust to taste

07 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

08 - Ice cubes, for thicker consistency

01 - Add the milk, Greek yogurt, mixed berries, banana, and peanut butter to a blender.

02 - Pour in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if desired.

03 - Blend on high speed until completely smooth. Add ice cubes for a colder and thicker texture.

04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness as needed before serving.

05 - Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

01 -

It takes five minutes from fridge to glass, which means you have zero excuse to skip breakfast ever again.
The peanut butter makes it thick and satisfying enough to actually keep you full until lunch, unlike those sad watery smoothies that leave you starving an hour later.
Frozen berries work beautifully here, so you never have to worry about having fresh fruit on hand.

02 -

Frozen berries will give you a naturally thicker smoothie, while fresh berries produce a thinner, more juice-like consistency unless you add ice.
Natural peanut butter can sometimes separate, so stir it thoroughly before measuring or you might end up with an oily layer on top of your drink.
This smoothie is best consumed right away since it will separate and lose its creamy texture after sitting in the fridge.

03 -

Freeze your banana in slices beforehand for an even creamier texture that rivals a milkshake without needing extra ice.
If the smoothie tastes flat, a tiny pinch of salt brightens the berry flavor and balances the peanut butter in a way you would not expect.
