Ingredients

Fruits & Sweeteners

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 pitted medjool date (or substitute with maple syrup or honey)

Dairy & Protein

  • ¾ cup milk (any preferred type)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (e.g., Ritual brand)

Others

  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Ice (start with ½ cup, adjust as needed for thickness)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen banana, natural peanut butter, pitted date, milk, plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high until the mix becomes smooth and creamy; stop to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure an even texture.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk a little at a time to thin it out. If it’s too thin and you prefer a thicker texture, add ice gradually and blend again.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a glass and optionally garnish with a drizzle of peanut butter, banana slices, and a sprinkle of cacao nibs for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter for best flavor and consistency, avoiding overly dry or highly sweetened types.
  • Sweetness can vary depending on the banana’s ripeness; adjust by adding additional date, maple syrup, or honey to taste.
  • The smoothie thickens as it sits due to the frozen fruit; if needed, add a small splash of milk before serving to loosen the texture.
