Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe: No Gluten, Dairy-Free

It’s easy to forget how delicious peanut butter banana smoothies are until you have one again. That’s what happened to me before I created this recipe for a biz I owned. Or if you’ve never tried a peanut butter banana smoothie, here’s your chance. It’s not only a 100% organic vegan smoothie recipe made with dope ingredients, it’s a gluten-free, sugar-free, high-protein power smoothie that gets you all ramped up.

So before I deep dive into this peanut butter banana smoothie recipe, I have to confess: I have a weakness for peanut butter and banana that goes way back. And I’m probably not alone. 

Prior to jumping on my smoothie jam I used to mix the two together and smear it onto bread, or spoon it straight from a bowl.

But after I developed tons of healthy smoothie recipes for a biz I owned, I get it that way now—in a thick, delicious, creamy homemade peanut butter banana smoothie recipe made from scratch.

And with tons of boosters onboard.  

In addition it’s customizable—meaning you can swap things out and add your favorite superfoods and blends. You can also mix the nuts with different varieties like almonds, cashews, tahini, walnuts.

And it’s great for kids. In fact two tablespoons of peanut butter alone contains seven grams of plant-based protein. Not to mention the bananas—a powerhouse of their own.  

This recipe is organic, vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and probiotic.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe

To make this peanut butter banana smoothie recipe taste like a dessert, just add some organic cacao nibs or chocolate chips. 

I also add nuts and seeds, coconut, and an occasional splash of vegan whipped topping if I’ve got a sweet tooth. 

In fact one of the best things about homemade smoothies is that they can sub for a dessert, and a healthy one at that. They’re also a great meal replacement for a weight loss diet, and especially when you add a booster.   

And if you’re not a vegan like me, this vegan smoothie recipe is customizable—just add dairy instead of plant ‘milk.’ 

Though I do suggest veganism for optimal health (and more) in this vegan diet plan.

Ingredients

• Filtered water ice.
• Plant milk.
• vegan yogurt.
• Banana.
• Peanut butter.
• Stevia.
• Vanilla.
• Pink salt.

Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

The peanut butter in this delicious smoothie recipe is rich in protein and other nutrients.

On top of seven grams per two tablespoon serving, it also has . . . 

• Dietary fiber.
• Magnesium.
• Vitamin E.
• Niacin. 
• Vitamin B6.
• Folic acid.
• Potassium.
• Copper.
• Iron.
• Omega-6 fatty acids.
• Manganese.

And more.

To optimize nuts and legumes—peanuts are legumes, by the way—go for sprouted. Smoothie recipes made with sprouted foods have increased bioavailability of amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and more.

There are substantial increases in micronutrients in sprouted vs un-sprouted foods.  

And if you’re wondering if peanut butter is fattening, there’s this:

Peanut butter’s high fat content is what gave the spread a reputation for being unhealthy, says Willett. But researchers and experts now distinguish between different types of fats, and peanut butter is a prime example of a “mostly healthy unsaturated fat,” Willett explains. Eating more of this kind of fat “will reduce blood cholesterol and risk of heart disease,” he says, “especially if this replaces butter or processed meats.”  

Another thing I like about this recipe is mixing it up. Sometimes I blend different nut butters to diversify nutrients.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie & Nootropics

If you don’t add nootropics and boosters to smoothies and smoothie bowls, you’re missing out. They’re a perfect base.
