Ingredients for banana smoothie without yogurt
The following ingredients are all that are needed to make this peanut butter banana smoothie.
Banana. For an extra creamy smoothie, use a frozen ripe banana.
Almond milk. I used unsweetened almond milk, but any plant-based milk will work, including coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Even regular milk will work if you are not vegan.
Peanut butter. I used natural peanut butter to add some protein. Almond butter or any nut butter will work.
Vanilla extract. Just a little adds fantastic flavor. Feel free to use almond extract as well.
Chia seeds. These are optional but add some protein as well.
Cinnamon. Just a sprinkle ties all the flavors together. Do not omit it, the flavor just isn't the same without it.
Maple syrup. I used pure maple syrup to sweeten the smoothie. You can also use honey or your favorite sweetener.
