Ingredients
Milkshake Ingredients
- 3 frozen bananas (make sure they’re ripe!)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or more as needed)
- Dash of cinnamon
- Dash of maple syrup (optional, if bananas aren’t totally ripe)
- Peanut butter (for topping)
- Quinoa (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Add the frozen bananas to a food processor and pulse until they break up into small pieces, creating the base texture for the milkshake.
- Add Peanut Butter: Add the peanut butter to the broken-up bananas and process again until they start coming together.
- Add Coconut Milk: Slowly add the coconut milk a splash at a time while processing to smooth out the mixture. Continue until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Flavor: Once smooth, add a dash of cinnamon and process for 10-15 seconds. Taste the milkshake and add a dash of maple syrup if the bananas are not sweet enough.
- Serve: Transfer the milkshake into two jars. Top each with a drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of quinoa. Gently stir with a knife to create a swirling effect for visual appeal.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness; unripe bananas may need the addition of maple syrup.
- Frozen bananas give the milkshake a creamy, frosty texture without needing ice cream.
- Adjust coconut milk quantity to reach your desired thickness.
- Quinoa topping adds a crunchy texture and extra protein.
- This recipe is vegan and gluten-free, suitable for various dietary needs.
