Can I Use Another Sweetener?

Yes! To make this smoothie vegan, you can use pure maple syrup or agave instead of honey.

Do I Have to Freeze the Bananas?

Yes! Otherwise your smoothie will be runny rather than thick and creamy. I suppose you could add extra ice to make up for it, but then your smoothie may taste watered down.

Tips for Making a Healthy Peanut Butter Smoothie

I recommend using a creamy natural peanut butter for this recipe.
Any kind of milk will work in this smoothie. I used vanilla almond milk, but dairy or non-dairy milk is fine.
A high-powered blender is best for making smoothies, especially when ice is being added.
