4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is a creamy, rich smoothie packed with protein and calcium. This is the perfect, simple smoothie to start your day or have a delicious afternoon snack. 

Do you ever find yourself tired and starving in the afternoon?

Or do you eat breakfast but not feel satisfied?

Today’s 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Smoothie is a great way to take care of those problems! My kids love them for breakfast or as a snack.

I make a lot of different kinds of smoothies from fruit based smoothies to vegetable based smoothies to peanut butter based smoothies.

Today’s 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is one of our favorite smoothies to make. My kids think that it tastes like a milkshake and I have to agree with them.

The frozen banana helps create a creamy smoothie and the peanut butter and dates give it a nice smooth, sweet taste.

I like this smoothie because it has calcium, potassium and protein to help start our day or get us over the afternoon slump.

Smoothies are a favorite in my house. We love making this Blueberry Banana Smoothie, a Pineapple Smoothie, a 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie or a Blueberry Kale Smoothie.

Why to Add Dates to Smoothies?

I love them because they are naturally sweet and add a wonderful taste to smoothies without adding sugar. I always keep a container of dates in my pantry for all of my smoothie making needs.

Other Smoothie Add-ins:

• Hemp Seeds: Do you use hemp seeds? They are great in smoothies and they are packed with so much power. 1 Tablespoon of those small seeds is 5 grams of protein. That will help keep you feeling full and give you the energy you need. I suggest adding it to your smoothies if you have it on hand!
• Nut Butter: Nut butters are another great way to add protein and help the texture of the smoothie. I find if my smoothie is too thin that adding a few Tablespoons or almond of peanut butter will help thicken it. 
• Oats: You might be thinking – oats? And yes, they are a great addition to smoothies. They will thicken it some but I actually like it. You can dump rolled oats straight into the blender. They help keep you full and give you energy thanks to the fiber!
