Banana Peanut Butter Protein Shake ~ Healthy, Protein Smoothie is loaded with Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey. It tastes like a milkshake; you’ll never know that it’s good for you!
Now that the holidays are over and I am slowly crawling out of an egg nog-induced coma, it’s time to make a few healthy choices. Like this delicious Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie of course! It’s loaded with Protein Powder, Peanut Butter, Bananas, Spinach and more to give you a delicious, healthy breakfast or snack!
Did anyone else eat half their body weight in holiday treats? Asking for a friend. 😉
Today I’m bringing you a smoothie that tastes like a milkshake. Yep, it’s true. Creamy banana, rich peanut butter, and a thick texture that will make you think this thing is loaded with ice cream (hint: it’s not).
This smoothie is sweet and satisfying, and I’m happy to say it’s filled with nutritious, real-food ingredients. Just throw everything in a blender and you are ready to go! Here’s what we have inside:
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Ingredients
- Unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- Frozen bananas
- Peanut butter
- Protein powder or collagen peptides (← my fave)
- A splash of vanilla extract (my secret ingredient)
- Honey (optional)
- Spinach (optional)
Although I say the spinach is optional, I highly recommend you try it. Not only does the spinach take this smoothie from “boring beige” to “beautiful green,” but, it also gets us a serving of dark leafy greens! We can all use more of those, right? Bonus: you will not taste it – I promise!
Use my recipe as a starting point and adapt it to suit your tastes. A scoop of cocoa powder would add chocolaty flavor. Some chia seeds or hemp seeds would add omega-3’s. You could even swap the peanut butter for the nut butter of your choice. This smoothie has the potential to be a nutritional powerhouse.
Great Add-Ins for Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie!
- Chia Seeds
- Hem Seeds
- Spinach
- Cocoa Powder
My family enjoys this smoothie any time of day. It’s a great jump start for your morning, a delicious post-workout refuel, and it can even be a healthy dessert. Here are some other great smoothies to try;
The next time you’re craving something sweet, give this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie a try. And in case you need a reminder… it tastes like a MILKSHAKE!

Could you use carnation instant breakfast powder in place of protein powder?
Hi Kristie Ann, I haven’t tried it with carnation instant breakfast powder but I would think it should work well! Let me know how it turns out with the substitution!
Literally like a smoothie! I didn’t add spinach but I did add honey and it made it that much sweeter!
Great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I just made this and omg it’s so good..I didnt have banana or ice but I added 2 scoops of coco cereal collagen. Yummy I cant even taste the spinach this is a keeper.
Awesome! I’m glad you loved it!

I made this with the exception of spinach and honey and the ice and let me tell you, this is a keeper 🙌🏽 My husband I loved it ♥️ Thank you
Perfect! I’m glad it was a hit!
Delicious, loved it! Filling too! I omitted the ice, spinach and honey and used pb2 powder rather than regular peanut butter. It really tastes like dessert!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed it!
So good! Thanks for the recipe!
Your welcome! Thanks for commenting and rating the recipe Rachel!
This is a winner!! Used all the ingredients except the spinach and tasted it before adding cocoa powder. It was amazing without it, but I was in a chocolate mood so I added a tsp and a half cocoa powder. Also amazing!! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Real nice layout and superb content, nothing at all else
we want :D.
I’m still crawling out of the holiday and sweet-induced craziness, and this smoothie looks like a great way to kick some of the sugar cravings I’ve had recently. What a delicious way to start the day!
I think we might all be! I think I’m finally out of it!
These might have to become my breakfast from now on!
They’ve become my breakfast!
I am totally making this for breakfast tomorrow. I love healthy smoothies!
Great way to start the day off on the right foot Melissa! Enjoy!
Banana smoothies are a favorite – love the addition of peanut butter and optional spinach!
Mine too!
