banana milkshake

Peanut butter and banana milkshake

IDDSI LEVEL 1–4

Time to prepare 5 minutes Serves 2 The thickness is regulated by adding extra bananas or reducing the amount of liquid. Add sweeteners if extra sweetness is desired. For a less sweet version use unsweetened plant milk. Soy protein powder makes the smoothie much thicker and is also better for those who need extra calories and protein.
