EQUIPMENT:

  • Measuring cups and spoons

  • Glass or smoothie jar

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter
  • Half cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Half cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • One teaspoon of honey (optional)
  • One-fourth teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 4/5 ice cubes
  • Splash of water, if needed for blending

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Banana:

  • Natural sweetness and softness can be created by using frozen bananas that are ripe. If your drink is made with a fresh one, feel free to add more ice.

Peanut Butter:

  • Making a lower-calorie and WW points choice, you should go for powdered peanut butter. If you have real peanut butter, you may use a small amount.

Milk:

  • You can use unsweetened almond milk for this recipe, but light skim milk, oat milk or soy milk will also do the job.

Greek Yogurt:

  • This ingredient provides protein and thickness, with very few calories. Go with plant-based yogurt when you’re choosing a dairy-free version.

Sweetener:

  • There may be no need to use a sweetener when your banana is very ripe. Make the salad according to how you prefer it.

INSTRUCTION:

  1. Peel and slice your banana if it isn’t already frozen. Collect the remaining components.
  2. In the blender, combine the banana, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, almond milk, cinnamon, ice cubes, and sweetener, if using.
  3. Blend until smooth and velvety, 30 to 60 seconds on high. Adjust with extra milk or a dash of water if the blend is excessively thick.
  4. Try the smoothie. Increase the amount of honey if you’d like it sweeter.
  5. Pour into a smoothie container or glass. Top with a little cinnamon or, if you’d like, a slice of banana.

TIPS:

  • Increase the protein in your shake with a WW-approved protein powder.
  • Pour less liquid into your blender and enjoy your bowl topped with fruits and granola.
  • You can also add a little oats or chia seeds for more nutrients.
  • Instead of dairy yogurt, choose a yogurt that doesn’t have milk.
  • A half-teaspoon of chocolate powder can be added. if you want a chocolate-peanut butter version.

FRIDGE:

  • It is best consumed fresh, but it can be kept in the freezer for up to a day in a sealed jar. Before drinking, shake or stir.

FREEZER:

  • To create nutritious smoothie pops, freeze the blended smoothie in popsicle molds. Or, for easier preparation, freeze banana slices beforehand.
