Creamy and delicious 4-ingredient peanut butter banana smoothie. Super easy, high in protein, ready in 5 minutes and perfect for breakfast!
This peanut butter banana smoothie is like heaven in a glass. It’s all healthy stuff, yet tastes like a milkshake! Isn’t that the best thing.
I did use a fair bit of peanut butter here, I mean, if a smoothie has ‘peanut butter’ in the title, what, are we playing?
The result is smooth, creamy, peanut buttery bliss! Enjoy it for breakfast or a post-workout power snack.
If you want to take it ALL the way to decadent then try our vegan peanut butter milkshake.
How To Make This Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
- Add all the ingredients to your blender jug.
- Blend until smooth.
- Top with melted peanut butter, sliced banana, and crushed peanuts.
Ingredient Notes
- Soy milk – can be replaced with any non-dairy milk.
- Peanut butter – should ideally be smooth, creamy and salted. But any peanut butter will work.
- Medjool dates – sweeten up this shake beautifully. If you don’t have dates on hand, you can omit them and see if you find the smoothie sweet enough without them. Or you can add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead.
- Frozen bananas – create the creamy texture and the sense that you’re drinking a milkshake rather than a healthy shake. A permanent stash of frozen bananas (peeled, quartered and stored in freezer bags in your freezer) is highly recommended so that you can make smoothies anytime.

Hi,
I’m not a fan of Medjool Dates, is there a substitute?
You can leave them out. 🙂

Gonna try with sunflower butter ? (became allergic to peanuts 2 years ago ?)
I think that would work great! 🙂
