Easy swaps
For a dairy-free version, replace the 3/4 cup dairy milk with 3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk and the 1/2 cup Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup plain dairy-free yogurt; protein and texture vary by brand.
Replace peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter when needed.
Use half a banana and more ice to reduce natural sugar by about 7 grams.
Mixpert tips
Natural peanut butter should list peanuts and salt as its only ingredients.
Freeze banana slices flat so they blend without large icy pieces.
Can I use powdered peanut butter in this smoothie?+
Yes, but powdered peanut butter has less fat and a different texture than the natural creamy peanut butter used here. Mix the powder into the milk first so it does not form dry pockets, then blend with banana and yogurt. Adjust thickness gradually and do not use the original nutrition estimate.
Is a peanut butter banana smoothie high in protein?+
This version provides an estimated 23 grams from Greek yogurt, milk, and peanut butter. Exact values vary by brand.
Can I make a peanut butter banana smoothie without yogurt?+
Yes. Reduce the milk slightly and add another tablespoon of peanut butter, two tablespoons of oats, or one quarter cup of cottage cheese for body.
