I love this Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie. I blended frozen strawberries with a ripe banana and natural peanut butter, adding a scoop of plain Greek yogurt and unsweetened almond milk. The combination creates a protein-packed drink that not only satisfies my cravings but also provides a burst of refreshing flavor perfect for any time of day.

Jump to Recipe

I’ve always been excited to experiment in the kitchen, and my Strawberry Peanut Butter Smoothie is one of my favorite recent finds. I mix together 1 cup frozen strawberries with a ripe banana sliced to add extra creaminess, and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter for that rich, nutty kick.

Then, I toss in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk. The result is a smoothie that feels like a twist on your basic strawberry banana yogurt or even your go-to peanut butter smoothie in flavor.

Sometimes I add a teaspoon of honey to balance the tang, and if I’m using fresh strawberries, I blend in 1/2 cup ice cubes to chill things out. This recipe has the best of both worlds, satisfying my cravings for a protein smoothie while keeping that fun taste of a fruit smoothie.

Enjoy the adventure in every sip!

Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s super quick to whip up and it tastes amazin even on busy mornings. I like that the mix of frozen strawberries, banana, and peanut butter gives it a really creamy, satisfying texture that feels healthy and fun to drink. I also really appreciate how I can add just a little honey if I need more sweetness, or even toss in some ice if I’m using fresh strawberries so it stays chilled. Plus, it’s a protein packed snack that keeps me going during the day and it’s almost like having a fun twist on a PB and J sandwich in a smoothie form.

Strawberry Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Frozen strawberries – You can use fresh strawberries if you add extra ice cubes, or even try frozen raspberries for a different twist
Ripe banana – If you dont have a ripe banana on hand, try using a bit of avocado or even applesauce to help with the creaminess
Natural peanut butter – Sometimes you could swap in almond butter or cashew butter just for a slightly different nutty flavor
Plain Greek yogurt – You could replace this with dairy-free coconut yogurt or plain regular yogurt if that’s what you prefer
Unsweetened almond milk – Soy milk or oat milk works great as alternatives if you want to mix things up

Pro Tips

1. Try adding your almond milk first in the blender and then piling on the thicker stuff so you end up gettin a smoother blend every time.
2. If your smoothie seems to be too thick after blendin, just slowly add a bit more almond milk and blend again until you reach the consistency you want.
3. Always taste after blendin and make sure it is sweet enough — if not, go ahead and add a tad more honey, but make sure you don’t overdo it.
4. Using a really ripe banana can make your smoothie extra creamy so if your banana ain’t ripe enough, your smoothie might turn out a bit watery or less smooth.
