Total Time:5 minutes
Yield:2 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 frozen banana
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 pitted medjool date
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup ice (add more as needed for thickness)
Instructions
Add Ingredients: Place the frozen banana, natural peanut butter, pitted medjool date, milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and ice into a high-speed blender.
Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure even blending.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it out. For a thicker texture, add additional ice gradually.
Garnish and Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a drizzle of peanut butter, banana slices, and cacao nibs for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately.
Notes
Substitute the medjool date with maple syrup or honey if preferred for sweetness.
Use plant-based milk for a dairy-free version, but protein content may vary.
Adjust the amount of ice to get your desired smoothie thickness.
Ensure the banana is frozen to get a creamy and chilled texture without watering down the smoothie.
Use vanilla protein powder to complement the flavors; any vanilla-flavored protein can work.
For extra nutrients, try adding a handful of spinach or chia seeds.
