Smoothie lovers unite because this Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie is the newest addition to my vegan smoothie arsenal and it's super tasty. You need it in your breakfast-blending life!
We're talking a combo of summery, fresh (or frozen) strawberries, sweet ripe banana, and a big dollop of peanut butter for a PBJ kind of experience!
Ingredients
Here's what you need to make this Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie:
- Strawberries - Fresh or frozen, although fresh strawberries will give your smoothie way more flavour than frozen ones. If you do use frozen strawberries, use a fresh banana instead of a frozen one to compensate.
- Banana - For the best smoothie experience it should be frozen, unless you are using frozen strawberries, then it's best to use a fresh one so there aren't too many frozen thing going on. Bananas thicken the smoothie and make it really creamy.
- Peanut butter - For that PBJ flavour and for the healthy fats and protein. If you don't have peanut butter you can use any other nut or seed butter such as almond butter or tahini.
- Dairy-free milk - Any variety is fine, although it's best to use unsweetened unless you like your smoothies on the sweeter side. I like to use homemade cashew milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Maple syrup - Or a Medjool date, although both are totally optional. There should be enough sweetness from the fruit so chances are you won't need them.
Feel free to also throw in some flax, hemp, or chia seeds too. They are great if you want to give your smoothie a nutritional boost.
Flavor Variations
Make this Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie your own by adding any of these tasty smoothie boosters:
- A handful of rolled, old fashioned, or quick oats.
- A tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- A dollop of vegan yogurt.
- A small handful of raw nuts like walnuts, cashews or pecans.
- A handful of any other berries.
- Up the protein with a scoop of your favourite vegan protein powder
- A handful of greens. Baby spinach has a nice mild flavour in smoothies.
Important - Bear in mind that most of these additions will thicken the smoothie so an extra drop of plant milk will probably be necessary.
Make It A Smoothie Bowl
Serve your smoothie the usual way, in a glass, or make a smoothie bowl. Simply use a little less milk when blending so the smoothie is super-thick. Then spoon into a bowl and top with all the delicious toppings you can think of. Fresh chopped strawberries, vegan granola, berries, roasted strawberries, chopped fruit, nuts, sliced banana, seeds, date caramel, chocolate shavings/chips, nut/seed butter, shredded coconut etc are all great additions.
