Ingredients
  

  • 1 bananas frozen
  • 1/2 cup soy milk or milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds optional

Equipment

  • blender
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoon
  • Cup

Method
 

  1. Prep the bananas. Peel very ripe bananas and slice into coins about ½-inch thick. Freeze on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for a few hours before transferring into a freezer safe container.
  2. Blend. Add the dairy free milk first before adding the remaining ingredients of the frozen banana, nut butter, protein powder, vanilla, and flax/chia seeds (if using). Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Add a tablespoon of water or more dairy free milk as needed until you get the thickness you prefer. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • How to Store + Make Ahead Instructions
    • Fridge: Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Note, it will get a bit runnier in texture since the ingredients will melt in the fridge a bit.
    • Freezer: Pour any leftover smoothie into an ice cube tray or other freezer mold and let freeze solid. You can eat it frozen or let it thaw in the fridge for an hour the next time you want a smoothie. Frozen smoothies will keep for about 1 month.
    • Make Ahead: Pop all the ingredients except for the non-dairy milk and vanilla into a freezer safe container. The next time you want a protein shake, just add the non-dairy milk and vanilla into the blender with the pre-measured ingredients and in 30 seconds you have a smoothie!
