This is another smoothie that we enjoy at Beasts Train Mean, mainly for a quick breakfast on-the-go. But this is not the only time when you can enjoy this smoothie. You can also have it as a post-workout, or just a snack.
If you have had banana-peanut butter sandwiches and you love them, then you already know that this smoothie is a bomb. There is just something about the sweetness of banana paired with the saltiness and creaminess of peanut butter. Just HEAVENLY!
INGREDIENTS:
For 1 serving
- 1 banana: frozen or fresh, the choice is yours.
- 1 tbs peanut butter: we like to vary here between P28 White Cholocate Peanut Butter and Jif when the former is not available. In this case, we used Jif.
- 1 scoop of creatine (optional): we love Muscletech products. Therefore, the creatine is from them and not flavored.
- 1 scoop of protein powder: we use Muscletech Nitro Tech protein powder, French vanilla.
- 1 cup of milk: any type of milk work, but we like and used Silk coconut milk.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Peel the banana and put it in the blender.
- Add in the coconut milk, and blend.
- As the blender is still running, add in the peanut butter, and then the protein powder slowly, both preferably in the eye of the cyclone.
- Optional step: add in the creatine in the same fashion as in the previous step.
- When the mixture looks creamy, stop the blender.
- Serve, and enjoy!
