Interesting Facts

Peanut butter is a great source of healthy fats and protein.

Bananas are rich in potassium and provide natural sweetness to the smoothie.

Adding a tablespoon of honey enhances the sweetness, but it can be omitted for a lower sugar option.

This smoothie can be easily customized by adding ingredients like spinach, cocoa powder, or chia seeds.

For a creamier texture, use frozen banana slices instead of ice cubes.
