With the added creaminess of almond milk, this recipe is not only easy to make, but it's also dairy-free and perfect for a quick nutrient boost.
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the bananas into small pieces for easier blending. For a creamier texture, it's recommended to freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours before making the smoothie.
- Place the peanuts into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the peanuts are finely chopped. This will add a crunchy texture to the smoothie and help to distribute the peanut flavor evenly.
- Add the frozen banana slices to the blender with the chopped peanuts.
- Pour 1/4 cup (60g) of almond milk into the blender. The almond milk helps to blend all the ingredients together and creates a smooth consistency.
- Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes. You may need to stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little bit more almond milk (a tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the banana peanut soft serve smoothie into serving glasses. You can enjoy it immediately as a thick smoothie or soft serve.
- If you like, you can garnish your smoothie with a few extra chopped peanuts or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
