Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup of almond milk (can substitute with water or another non-dairy milk)

1 frozen banana

2 tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter

1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Optional: honey or other sweetener, to taste

Optional: a handful of ice for a thicker consistency

Instructions

Place 1/2 cup of almond milk in your blender.
Break 1 frozen banana into pieces and add it to the blender. (If your blender is not high-speed, cut the banana into small coin shapes.)
Add 2 tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds, and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Blend everything together, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender.
Optional: Add a splash more almond milk or water if needed to keep things blending smoothly.
Taste the smoothie. If desired, add honey or another sweetener to boost the overall flavor.
If a thicker smoothie is desired, add a handful of ice and blend again.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. If you have any leftovers, pour the smoothie into an ice pop mold and freeze it for a cold treat later.
