Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe frozen bananas peeled and sliced before freezing
  • 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter preferably smooth
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional for extra sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon a pinch for warmth

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen bananas into your blender, and pulse a few times to break them into smaller chunks.
  2. Add the natural peanut butter on top of the bananas, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  3. Pour in the milk, which will help everything blend into a smooth consistency, and add the honey for sweetness.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the ingredients to give a warm, aromatic flavor.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, until the mixture is thick, velvety, and fully combined—listen for a smooth hum and watch for a creamy, uniform texture.
  6. Check the consistency—if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly until smooth.
  7. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and optionally garnish with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation.
  8. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, and enjoy the rich, creamy taste of this nostalgic treat.

Notes

Using frozen bananas creates a thick, ice-cream-like texture. For a dairy-free version, substitute with almond or oat milk. Feel free to add chia seeds or oats for extra fiber and texture.
