Healthy Peanut Butter Smoothies
We like to start the day out with something filling and delicious, whether it be a protein-packed smoothie like these or Apple Steel Cut Oats. I like to mix up the smoothie combos, and recently rotated in one of these peanut butter beauties. So delicious and a perfect way to add some protein for muscle recovery, especially after a morning workout.
If you look at the nutrition label, there are a whopping 16 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber in each smoothie. We keep frozen fruit stocked at all times in our home.
Why This Recipe Works:
- SIMPLE TO MAKE – These smoothies take a mere five minutes to make. Simple and a great breakfast or snack.
- NUTRIENT DENSE – We love a high protein snack, and these have 16 grams in one drink. They fill you up and taste great too!
- DELICIOUS FLAVOR – These peanut butter smoothies tase a bit like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which we happen to love!
- PERFECT FOR BOTH KIDS AND ADULTS – Make some smoothies for the whole family!
Ingredients needed for Berry Peanut Butter Smoothies:
- Banana – One medium banana is all you need.
- Yogurt – One 5.3 oz. container of Greek yogurt, any flavor.
- Milk – I used 1% milk for this recipe, but any version of milk works just fine.
- Chia Seeds – These are packed with essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber.
- Peanut Butter – This is the secret ingredient that makes these smoothies different from the others. That peanut butter taste definitely stands out.
- Frozen Fruit – I chose a mixed berry blend, but any fruit blend will taste great.
How to make Berry Peanut Butter Smoothies:
Step 1
Combine ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a large blender – banana, yogurt, peanut butter, frozen fruit, and milk.
Step 2
Blend. Run blender until very well combined and creamy. Add more milk if needed.
Step 3
Serve. Serve smoothies immediately with glass straws.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes, but you’ll need to add plenty of ice to get the consistency correct. Using only fresh fruit will result in a smooth drink instead of a thick smoothie.
You can substitute almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter, or any nut butter.
Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk instead of dairy milk, and skip the yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative.
Add extra ice to the blender to make peanut butter smoothies thicker.
Add honey, maple syrup, or a pitted date for natural sweetness.
Use less liquid for a thicker texture, then pour into a bowl and top with granola, nuts, and fresh fruit.

Oooops, sorry, Suebee! There is a posted recipe!!! For some reason, the entire page did not load for me and I missed it the first time.
Is this for one person and do u use a frozen banana?
I don’t use a frozen banana, just frozen berries. The recipe makes two medium smoothies.
Delicious! Whole family enjoyed it. Will make again.
That’s awesome! Thanks Linda!
