Milk - Any type of milk will work here, whether it's dairy or non-dairy. Use whatever type of milk you have at home. 

Frozen Strawberries - Delicious frozen strawberries are readily available all year round, and add a nice, icy consistency to this smoothie. Fresh strawberries can be used as well. 

Banana - One small banana is enough for two servings. Make sure your banana is nice and ripe.

Creamy Peanut Butter - About two tablespoons of peanut butter go into this drink. Use more or less to taste. 

Vanilla Protein Powder - This is optional, but I really like to add it to make this smoothie filling and satisfying. 

Ice - You may need to add ice to get the smoothie to the right consistency. This will depend on the other ingredients and whether or not you use frozen or fresh fruit.

These numbered steps are for illustration purposes only. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions in this strawberry banana peanut butter smoothie recipe, please see the recipe below. 

HOW TO TELL IF A BANANA IS RIPE

A banana is ripe if the stem no longer is green, it’s easy to peel, and it snaps off the stem easily.

I like bananas that have some brown spots, because they tend to be a little sweeter.

You can use fresh or frozen bananas in this strawberry banana peanut butter smoothie recipe.

OPTIONAL STRAWBERRY BANANA PEANUT BUTTER SMOOTHIE ADD-INS: 

• 1 scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
• ½ cup of additional fruit like blueberries or raspberries
• Feel free to add in your favorite smoothie add-in ingredients.

WHAT CAN I USE IN PLACE OF PEANUT BUTTER?

If you don't have peanut butter or you'd like to switch it out with something else, cashew butter and almond butter are great options in this strawberry banana peanut butter smoothie recipe. 

I tend to use cashew butter when I want a milder flavored nut butter. 

You can also use your nut butter of choice or simply leave it out.

TIPS FOR MAKING SMOOTHIES

Always put the liquid into the blender first. This will help keep the blender from jamming up.

Omit the ice if you are using frozen ingredients, like frozen strawberries. Then add ice until you get your desired consistency.

If your smoothie calls for two or more types of fruit, like this strawberry banana peanut butter smoothie, don’t use all frozen fruit otherwise the liquid will freeze the fruit and the blender will jam up.

If you like a thinner smoothie, add more water, milk, or dairy-free milk.

If you like a thicker smoothie, add more fresh or frozen fruit or yogurt.

For a sweeter smoothie, add additional sweet fruits or add a tablespoon of honey, agave, or maple syrup.
