Recipe yields 2 servings
In a blender, combine milk, ice, honey, peanut butter, nutmeg and bananas and process for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Add yogurt and process until blended.
While a high-powered blender is the best tool for getting a perfectly smooth texture, you can use a food processor if that is all you have. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure the frozen bananas and ice are fully broken down.
Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately while they are cold and creamy. If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur, just give it a shake before drinking. For meal prep, you can freeze the banana slices and measured peanut butter in a baggie ahead of time, so you just need to dump them into the blender with milk and yogurt.
For Milk: Swap skim milk for almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free or different flavor base.
For Greek Yogurt: If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use regular plain yogurt (though the texture will be thinner) or a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
For Peanut Butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are all excellent swaps. For a lower-fat option, use peanut butter powder.
For Honey: Maple syrup or agave nectar work well as alternative natural sweeteners.
