Peanut Butter Strawberry Banana Smoothie
This Strawberry Banana Smoothie is a perfect blend of sweet strawberries, creamy bananas, and rich coconut milk, enhanced by the nutty flavor of peanut butter. It's ideal for a quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast.
Ingredients
- 8 Strawberries
- 1 Banana
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon Peanut Butter
Instructions
- If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. If using frozen strawberries, they can go straight into the blender.
- Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
- Add the strawberries, banana, coconut milk, and peanut butter in a blender jar.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. The banana should provide enough natural sweetness, but you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Enjoy this no-yogurt smoothie immediately, or store it in an airtight jar for later use.
Notes
- You don't need an expensive blender like a Vitamix. Any blender works. I also use a Nutri Bullet when I make a single-portion smoothie.
- If cashew milk is used, do not store it for later use, as strawberries will curdle the cashew milk because of its tartness.
- Want to make this breakfast smoothie more nutritious and filling? Add a teaspoon of chia seeds or flax seeds. These provide good amounts of protein and are a rich source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.
- To make a creamy smoothie, use frozen bananas.
- This smoothie stores well for 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator. I usually store it in airtight glass jars filled to the brim to reduce oxidation.
