Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 large frozen banana
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt full-fat for creaminess
  • 2 Medjool dates pitted
  • 1 cup almond milk or water adjust for desired thickness
  • Optional: ice cubes

Instructions

  • Soak Dates: If the dates are hard, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Blend Main Ingredients: In a blender, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, soaked dates, and almond milk/water. Blend until smooth.
  • Add Frozen Banana: Incorporate the frozen banana and blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust Consistency and Flavor: For a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed, perhaps with more peanut butter for richness or an additional date for sweetness. For a thinner consistency, add more milk.
  • Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

*When freezing your banana ahead of time, peel it and cut it into pieces for easier blending. 
*Be sure to scrape down the sides of your smoothie in between blends.
