FAQs

What type of peanut butter should I use?

Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; natural or standard both work fine.

Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?

Yes, but freezing the banana first gives the smoothie a thicker, creamier texture.

How can I make this smoothie sweeter?

Add more honey, a couple of dates, or use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness.

Can I make this smoothie vegan?

Yes—use dairy‑free yogurt or plant milk and swap honey for maple syrup.

What liquid can I add if the smoothie is too thick?

Add a splash of milk (dairy or plant‑based) until you reach your desired consistency.

Can I add protein powder?

Yes, adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder can boost nutrition.

Is this smoothie healthy?

It provides good nutrients from fruit, protein from yogurt and peanut butter, and satisfies cravings naturally.

Can I add ice cubes?

You can, but frozen banana often makes ice unnecessary; too much ice can water down the flavor.

Can kids enjoy this smoothie?

Yes, the flavor is kid‑friendly and a great way to sneak in nutrients.

What toppings could I add?

If served in a bowl, consider sliced bananas, granola, or chopped nuts.
