Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
I love breakfast smoothies. I bet everyone has crazy mornings and if you want to prepare a healthy breakfast but within 10 minutes, smoothies are your best bet. Today I am going to share a simple smoothie made with readily available ingredients. All you need is milk, banana, peanut butter, and sugar to prepare this glass of goodness.
Most of the time I pack idlis and dosas for lunch and prepare these smoothies for our breakfast. I need to step out of the house by 6:30 AM, so my choices are limited. Luckily we all have early lunch including the kid at 11:30 AM so this setup works for us. This smoothie is perfect for kids too. Vaandu has his breakfast essential drink for the morning. I usually give this smoothie to the kiddo during the evening.
Bananas are available throughout the year, and we all know that bananas are a good source of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining healthy blood pressure and heart function. One medium-sized banana contains 400+ mg of potassium and including banana in your daily meal help to prevent high blood pressure. The unique mix of vitamins, minerals and low glycemic carbohydrates in bananas has made them a favorite fruit among athletes. Source: whfoods.
I have already mentioned about the protein content in peanut butter and needless to say about the vitamin D in milk. So when you mix milk, banana, and peanut butter, you sure get a sufficient amount of the vitamins and minerals.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Ingredients:
- Ripe Banana – 1
- Peanut Butter – 2 tsp
- Sugar – 1 tsp
- Milk – 1 cup
Steps:
- Peel the banana and chop into chunks. (I usually break them with hands)
- Add the chopped bananas, peanut butter, sugar and milk in a blender or mixer.
- Blend until smooth.
That’s it. The peanut butter banana smoothie is ready. Serve chilled.
Notes:
- Sugar is optional. I used all natural, old fashioned peanut butter which has no sugar. But if used the regular chunky ones with sugar, you can skip the sugar.
- Along with banana, you can use other fruits too.
- Instead of peanut butter, you can use protein powder of your choice or flax meal, or you can use it along with peanut butter too.
