High-Protein Banana Smoothie
A thick, creamy banana smoothie packed with protein and nutrients — a nourishing sip for mornings when chewing feels like too much.
A good smoothie can quietly pack a whole breakfast into one glass. For anyone focused on high-protein eating for healthy aging, this banana blend is an easy win — smooth to drink, gentle to digest, and ready in five minutes.
Bananas bring natural sweetness and potassium, while yogurt and peanut butter load it up with protein to help keep muscles strong over the years.
How to make it
Peel the banana and break it into a few pieces straight into the blender.
Add the milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey.
Drop in a small handful of ice for a cool, thick texture.
Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds.
Pour into a tall glass and sip slowly — it is filling.
Cook's note
Freeze ripe banana pieces ahead of time. They make the smoothie extra thick and creamy without watering it down, and they keep bananas from going to waste.
