Here is a simple and delicious Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie with just five ingredients. This is a refreshing breakfast, snack, or dessert smoothie with no added sugar. This one tastes like a strawberry peanut butter milkshake!

This is one of those magical smoothie recipes that tastes like a milkshake more than a healthy drink filled with vitamins and minerals.

Fruit adds natural sweetness and the yogurt and peanut butter add protein, healthy fat, and thickness. If you want it a tad sweeter, you can add maple syrup or a couple of dates.

Either way, this is a dreamy smoothie that everyone is sure to love! You can feel good about serving this to your kids or making it for yourself.

Recipe Benefits

  • No added sugars mean you can feel good serving this fruity smoothie at any time of day.
  • The flavors are familiar so even picky kiddos will enjoy this one. Strawberries and bananas are easy to slice so young hands can also help make this recipe.
  • It comes together in just 5 minutes, and can use fresh or frozen fruit so you already have everything on hand.

Key Ingredients

  • Peanut butter adds protein, healthy fats, and extra thickness. Be sure to use a natural peanut butter with no added sweeteners or oils. You can use creamy peanut butter or crunchy.
  • Plain yogurt adds a quick tang as well as thickness. I used dairy-free yogurt, but you can use any type you like. Greek yogurt will add more grams of protein than regular yogurt.
  • Strawberries are one of the best tastes that summer has to offer. You can use fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries. Frozen fruit will give you a thicker smoothie.
  • Bananas offer potassium and creaminess. Use fresh banana or frozen ripe banana (see my guide on how to freeze bananas).
  • Milk helps everything come together! You can use dairy milk or dairy-free milk depending on your dietary needs. I used unsweetened almond milk but you could also use coconut milk or oat milk. Reduce the amount of milk in half to make a smoothie bowl.

Recipe FAQs

What if I’m allergic to peanuts?

Try out any nut or seed butter here. I love it because it gives you the classic PB+J taste in a glass, but any variety will work. Try almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, or even tahini.

Is this smoothie dairy-free?

It’s very easy to make this smoothie fit your dietary needs. Any type of milk or yogurt can be used here. Just be aware that sometimes using coconut options will change the flavor a bit, and you always have to check the dairy-free options especially for any added sugars.

Can this smoothie be stored in the fridge?

Yes, it will keep up to 48 hours when stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Can I add protein powder to this Strawberry Peanut Butter Smoothie?

Yes! Feel free to blend in 1-2 scoops of your favorite protein powder as a great way to add more protein content.
