Healthy Peanut Butter Milkshake

When you hear “milkshake” you probably think of desserts. Most milk shakes are true desserts, made with ice cream, sugar and other sweet ingredients that taste yummy but are not that healthy. We tried to add a little bit of nutrition to our peanut butter milkshake recipe.

Our peanut butter milkshake is made with frozen bananas. Bananas are rich in nutrients like fiber, vitamin D and magnesium. Bananas are known to improve blood sugar levels and support digestive health. They can even aid in weight loss, making you feel full for longer after you eat.

Frozen bananas also help make the peanut butter milkshake thick and creamy. Frozen bananas blend really well. They actually turn into an ice cream like consistency! They mix perfectly into the milkshake giving you a little bit of nutrition for your decadent dessert.

Ingredients in a Peanut Butter Milkshake

You already know that our peanut butter milkshake is made with healthy bananas, but what else do we put into the blender? Amazing ingredients of course! Here is what we add to our peanut butter milkshake to make is oh so good:

• Bananas- Bananas help make the milkshake thick and creamy. They add some beneficial vitamins and minerals to the dessert as well.
• Creamy natural peanut butter- Creamy peanut butter will give the milkshake the best texture. Natural peanut butter made with just peanuts has the best flavor. Lots of peanut butters have added sugars, oils or flavors that you really don’t need. All natural peanut butter is your best bet for flavor and nutrition.
• Whole milk- Whole milk is full of healthy fats and has a rich, creamy taste. You can use any kind of milk in place of whole milk. Coconut milk will add a tropical flavor that is quite tasty.
• Vanilla ice cream- You need ice cream in a milkshake! We love using vanilla bean ice cream which has lots of flavor and pretty black vanilla bean specks.
• Ground cinnamon- A touch of cinnamon is a great idea to help make a perfectly seasoned milk shake. A little spice really brings the milkshake to life. Cinnamon tastes delicious with bananas, peanut butter and ice cream.
• Whipped cream- You need whipped cream on a milkshake! It makes the shake look pretty and tastes delicious.

Once you have everything you need for the peanut butter milkshake, get out your blender and get ready for a real treat.
