• Peanut butter: Naturally! Look for all-natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil when you can.
• Ripe bananas: All you need are 2 ripe bananas at room temperature! Many smoothie recipes call for frozen bananas, but this requires advanced planning. We never think about putting bananas in the freezer, so we adjust our smoothie recipes to use room temperature.
• Milk: The milk helps mix and blends into the creamy texture. You can use milk or other milk (read on for some options).
• Ice: Ice completes the frothy texture!
