Nutella, Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
The ingredient list for this Nutella and peanut butter smoothie couldn’t be easier.
You know that when ingredients taste good on their own, they’ll taste even better when mixed together.
And this smoothie definitely falls into that category.
The flavors in this Nutella and peanut butter smoothie are a match made in heaven, and the consistency reminds me of a light milkshake.
What a great way to start the day.
How can you go wrong with peanut butter, chocolate and banana anyway right?
About the Order of Ingredients
Although this smoothie tastes wonderful when the ingredients are added to the blender in a random order*…
…A rule of thumb is to add the liquids and soft ingredients in the blender first, and then the harder ingredients last.
So, for example to the blender jar,
- First, add liquids such as juice, water or milk
- Second, add soft ingredients like yogurt, fresh (unfrozen) cut fruit and berries, or honey
- Then add items such as frozen cut fruit and berries, vegetables or nuts
- Lastly add the ice
When blending a smoothie, to avoid an air pocket from forming by the blade in the blender jar, there needs to be a good balance between the liquid and frozen ingredients (including ice).
* In the pictures below, the ingredients are added to the blender in a random order.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Banana, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, apple, peanut butter, Nutella, apple or grapefruit juice, ice cubes, and honey to taste
