Spinach Peanut Butter Smoothie
Enjoy a revitalizing Spinach Peanut Butter Smoothie, made with creamy peanut butter, fresh spinach, and a frozen ripe banana. Naturally sweet and ready in just 5 minutes, this green smoothie is perfect for a healthy breakfast or post-workout boost.
Ingredients
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, or any other regular or plant-based milk
- 1 large banana, frozen* frozen*
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter, creamy and unsalted natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds, optional – plus more as garnish
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend in high speed until smooth.
- Pour into glasses and sprinkle with ground flaxseeds (and/or chia seeds.) Serve right away.
Notes
- Banana: If you do not have a frozen banana, you can use a ripe one and add 1 cup of ice cubes into the blender.
- Optional sweeteners: If you want your peanut butter smoothie to be sweeter, you can add in a few tablespoons of maple syrup, honey or a few pitted dates and blend until smooth.
- Consistency: For a thicker smoothie, use an additional half a banana and for a thinner one, use more almond milk.
- To Make Ahead: Portion all the ingredients (except peanut butter) and place them into a plastic bag. Store in the fridge (or freezer). When ready to serve, dump everything in your blender along with peanut butter and blend until smooth.
- Storing leftovers: I think this peanut butter spinach banana smoothie recipe is best on the day that it is made. However, you can place the leftovers into a mason jar, put the lid on and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. Just be sure to give it a good shake before serving.
