Ingredients
2 bananas, peeled and chopped
1 cup skim milk
1 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 cups ice
Directions
Peel the bananas and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Spread the pieces on a plate and freeze for at least 2 hours until solid, or place in a freezer bag and freeze overnight.
Add the frozen banana pieces, skim milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla yogurt, and ice to a high-powered blender.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Divide the smoothie evenly between two tall glasses.
Serve immediately with a straw, and enjoy while cold.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every Charlotte grocer—banana, milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, yogurt, and ice are all standard stock. At roughly $1.50–2.00 per serving, it's cheap weeknight fare. The 10-minute time is honest; blending takes 5 minutes total including cleanup. It's fussy-free, reheats badly (texture breaks) but that's not an issue since two people drink it immediately, and North Carolina peanuts add genuine local relevance to a recipe that could come from anywhere.
