A creamy blend of peanut butter, berries, and banana — ready in 5 minutes for a nourishing grab-and-go drink.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
02 - 1 ripe banana

→ Base & Liquid

03 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
04 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)

# How to Make It:

01 - Place the mixed berries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter into the blender jar.
02 - If desired, add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a handful of ice cubes for a thicker, sweeter smoothie.
03 - Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
04 - Taste the smoothie and adjust by adding more honey for sweetness, a splash of milk to thin, or extra ice to thicken.
05 - Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like a milkshake but fuels you like a proper breakfast with protein from peanut butter and Greek yogurt working overtime.
  • Frozen berries mean you never have to worry about produce going bad in the crisper drawer again.
02 -
  • Add the liquid first so your blender blades catch everything faster and you avoid that annoying jammed chunk of frozen fruit at the bottom.
  • Peanut butter blobs love to cling to the blender walls so always scrape midway or you will lose half the flavor in the cleanup.
03 -
  • Freeze your bananas peeled and chopped in a bag so they are always ready to go and your smoothie turns out creamy every single time.
  • A tiny pinch of salt in the blender makes the peanut butter flavor pop in a way that will make people ask what your secret is.
