Peanut Banana Smoothie Ingredients
- 20g blanched peanuts (1 tablespoon)
- 1 banana (100-130g)
- 4 dates (20-25g)
- 1 tablespoon milk powder
- 2/3 cup boiled water
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- A pinch of cinnamon
How to Make a Peanut Banana Smoothie
Pouring blanched peanuts into the blender bowl.
Adding sliced banana to the ground nuts.
Adding chopped dates to the banana and peanuts.
Place the blanched peanuts into a blender bowl and blend for a few minutes. Stop the blender when the mixture becomes soft and crumbly. You can also use peanut butter in this recipe for a quicker result, though it will be higher in calories, as store-bought peanut butter often contains added sugar and oil.
Slice a ripe, slightly overripe banana. Add the sliced banana to the ground nuts.
Soak the dates in hot boiled water, then rinse them thoroughly under running water. Remove the pits. Chop the dates finely. Add the chopped dates to the banana and peanuts.
Mixing the milk and letting it sit for a couple of minutes.
Put the milk powder in a bowl. Gradually pour in hot boiled water. Stir the milk and let it sit for a couple of minutes. You can replace the milk powder and water with regular milk or yogurt. For a vegan version, use coconut or almond milk.
Pouring the cooled milk into the blender with the other smoothie ingredients.
Adding a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
The blender will add bubbles to the drink, making it airy.
Cool the milk in the freezer or add an ice cube to the cup. Pour the cooled milk into the blender with the other smoothie ingredients.
Add one teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon. You can also add a little vanilla extract if you like.
Depending on your blender’s power, you can blend the smoothie in the main jug or use an immersion blender. If your main blender isn’t powerful enough to make the smoothie creamy, you can transfer the mixture to a glass and use a more powerful immersion blender to achieve the desired consistency. The peanut smoothie should have a texture similar to a thin cream. The blender will add bubbles, making the drink light and airy.
Pouring the drink into a suitable bottle with a thick straw.
Pour the drink into a suitable bottle with a wide straw. Cover with a lid. You can drink it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for a few hours if the portion seems too large.
And there you have it – a perfectly creamy and nutritious Peanut Banana Smoothie, ready to enjoy! This versatile drink is wonderful as is, but feel free to customize it. Add a scoop of protein powder for a post-workout boost, a handful of spinach for extra greens, or a dash of vanilla for more flavor. Serve it chilled in a tall glass or a portable bottle for an on-the-go treat. We hope this simple recipe becomes a favorite in your routine, bringing a touch of healthy indulgence to your busy days. Enjoy every sip!
