The next recipe is for a Banana-Peanut Butter smoothie. The ingredients you will need are one ripe banana, two tablespoons of peanut butter, one tablespoon of honey, ½ cup of milk, and six ice cubes. This recipe is fun and easy to make.

Next, scoop out two tablespoons of peanut butter. Creamy or crunchy peanut butter will work. Then put the peanut butter into the blender with the bananas.

Now pour out ½ cup of milk. Fat free milk works the best for this recipe. You won’t need the milk until later, so set the milk aside for now.

Then measure out one tablespoon of honey. Any sort of honey will work. Put the honey into the blender. So far, in the blender you should have bananas, peanut butter, and honey.

Put the top on the blender and set the blender to the ‘blend’ setting. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
