Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies
We already know that peanut butter makes the best baked treats thanks to this recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies with Reese’s Pieces.
And we know that with some added banana and honey you can make a perfect Fluffernutter sandwich.
And we also know that adding peanut butter makes an amazing dip, thanks to this homemade recipe for Amish Peanut Butter Spread.
But did you know that peanut butter also makes a killer smoothie? These peanut butter banana smoothies are rich and satsifying, but won’t bog you down. You can blend one up in just five minutes and satisfying that peanut butter craving in a hurry!
Ingredients in a Honey Peanut Butter Smoothie
- Milk- Feel free to use cow’s milk or a dairy free alternative of your choice.
- Peanut Butter- Choose a creamy peanut butter. I prefer the texture of commercially processed peanut butter, but natural peanut butter will also work just fine. You can even substitute another nut butter if you prefer.
- Banana- If you’ve got bananas that are getting a bit over-ripe, peel them and toss them in the freezer for smoothies! They give the smoothie a wonderful soft-serve ice cream like texture.
- Honey- Increase or decrease the honey based on your preferences
- Cinnamon- If you love a cinnamon graham cracker, you’re going to want to be generous with this spice!
- Ice- This is especially important if your banana isn’t already frozen.
How to Make A Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
- Combine the milk, peanut butter, banana, honey, cinnamon and ice in a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If you used a frozen banana, you may need to add just a touch more liquid to get it to blend. Serve immediately.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of your choice (recommend dairy, oat, or almond)
- 3 – 4 ice cubes
- 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 banana (frozen for an ice cream-like consistency)
- 1/2 Tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (more or less, to taste)
Instructions
- First add in the almond or coconut milk and the ice cubes, blending until smooth. If you blend these two ingredients together until frothy and smooth (what I highly suggest doing) it will make your blending life much easier once you start adding the other ingredients.
- Add the peanut butter and banana to the blender and blend on high until smooth. Then, add the honey and cinnamon, blending at a low setting until combined.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. For a fun addition, serve with graham crackers or teddy grahams!
Notes
- It’s up to you if you want to use a fresh or frozen banana. It changes the texture so give it a try both ways!

Yum, yum, yum!!! This smoothie is absolutely divine. My 3-year-old son and I made it yesterday and enjoyed every single drop! We even licked the inside rims of our glasses when we were done; that’s how good it is. 🙂
Mmm…I’ve always got frozen bananas in the freezer. I think I’m going to be making a lot of these amazing smoothies this summer! You can’t beat peanut butter and banana together – yum!
This smoothie sounds amazing! There’s nothing better than pb and banana!
This sounds very inviting, Courtney!
I am on a smoothie fast right now so this was a recipe that I really needed, I can fit in within my diet so now I know what treat I am going to give myself tonight. 🙂

I definitely think it would be a winner with kids. It’s wonderfully creamy and just a tad sweet!
Love smoothies! They are our grab and go daily treat.
Us too! We love a good smoothie for a quick treat.
Looks wonderful! I just love smoothies!
Besides chocolate, I think one of the best pairings for pb is honey not jelly. Add banana and you´ve got a killer smoothie, I agree! Breakfast in a glass, with a straw!
I agree with you! I love peanut butter and honey together!
Would you believe I have mixed honey with peanut butter to use for banana sandwiches. This smoothie brought back memories of it and thinking how those flavors together would make a great smoothie.
Definitely! It’s one of the best flavor combos!
What a great smoothie! Love the name… and all the great ingredients 😉
