Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy peanut butter banana protein shake that provides a nourishing boost, perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana (preferably frozen for extra creaminess, but fresh works too)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural, unsweetened recommended)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey, plant-based, or preferred variety)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3–4 ice cubes (optional, for a chilled shake)

Instructions

  1. Peel one large ripe banana. For extra creaminess, slice and freeze it for a few hours beforehand.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk into the blender.
  3. Add ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons peanut butter to the blender.
  4. Add 1 scoop of protein powder (vanilla or unflavored).
  5. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired, plus ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  6. Secure the lid and blend on high for about 45-60 seconds until smooth. Add more milk if too thick and blend again.
  7. Optionally, add 3-4 ice cubes and pulse a few times until crushed and incorporated.
  8. Taste and adjust consistency by adding more yogurt for thickness or more milk for thinness. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  9. Pour into a glass or shaker bottle and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for sweetness and better blending. Frozen banana eliminates the need for ice, keeping the shake richer. Avoid over-blending to prevent warming the shake. Add protein powder last and pulse to avoid clumps. Can be stored in the fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
