Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 pitted medjool date (substitute with maple syrup or honey)
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup cottage cheese
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (such as Ritual)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Ice as needed for thickness (start with ½ cup)
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including the frozen banana, peanut butter, pitted medjool date, milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and ice.
- Add to blender: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender to ensure smooth blending and an even texture.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it out; if too thin, add more ice to thicken to your preferred texture.
- 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 visual appeal.
Notes
- Use frozen banana for a thicker, creamier texture without diluting flavors.
- Substitute the medjool date with maple syrup or honey for a vegan-friendly sweetener.
- Protein powder is optional but adds extra proteins for muscle recovery.
- Adjust ice quantity gradually to avoid over-thinning the smoothie.
- For a dairy-free version, replace milk, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives.
