Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie

Shopping list

1 large frozen banana (sliced)
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter (or 100% pindakaas)
30g vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder (approx. 1 scoop)
250ml milk of choice (semi-skimmed dairy or unsweetened almond/soy)
1 tbsp chia seeds

Pantry staples— you probably have these

1 pinch ground cinnamon
3-4 ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)

Method

Preparation

Peel and slice your frozen banana into chunks if it is not pre-sliced, to help your blender process it smoothly.

Blending

Add the milk to the blender jug first to ensure smooth blending and prevent protein powder from sticking to the bottom.
Add the frozen banana slices, peanut butter, protein powder, chia seeds, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and ice cubes (if using).
Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until completely velvety, thick, and lump-free. If the mixture is too thick, splash in an extra splash of milk and blend for another 10 seconds.

Serving

Pour immediately into a tall glass.
Garnish with a light pinch of ground cinnamon or a drizzle of peanut butter, and serve cold.
