I ran out of milk. Whoops, went to the grocery store yesterday and forgot that it was gone. My bad. But I’ve been craving a peanut butter banana smoothie for weeks and it makes such a perfect breakfast item that I had to have one, somehow, especially since I had just purchased bananas for that precise application.
I ended up successfully making a very tasty, relatively smooth peanut butter banana smoothie. Here’s what I did (very approximately, it was a “throw stuff in the blender” morning):
- 4 ice cubes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 banana
- 2 heaping spoonfuls of smooth peanut butter
- 4 tbsp agave
I started with the water and about half the agave, blended that all up. Broke the banana into bits, threw that in, blended that all up. Then I threw in the peanut butter, blended that all in. Then I wondered why my smoothie was warm and remembered that I needed to add ice, blended two of the ice cubes in. Then I just kept adding ice cubes and agave until it was the consistency, temperature and taste that I wanted. Basically, it was a peanut butter punch in the mouth.
I figured someone else on the internet might run out of milk some day and not have almond milk, or soy milk, or coconut juice or any of the other recommended items that replace milk in smoothies all over the internet.
And yes, you can replace the agave with honey, I’m just trendy like that.
