In this post, we’ll show you how to make a delicious peanut butter shake using Richganics Peanut Butter. We’ll also share some simple variations and handy tips to make it your own.
What You Need
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons Richganics Peanut Butter: This peanut butter is natural and tasty, made with peanuts, honey, olive oil, and pink Himalayan salt. It has no preservatives or added sugars.
- 1 Cup Milk (or Almond Milk for a Dairy-Free Option): Milk makes the shake creamy and gives you protein. Use almond milk if you prefer dairy-free or vegan.
- 1 Ripe Banana: Bananas add natural sweetness and make the shake smooth. They’re also full of potassium and vitamins.
- 1 Tablespoon Honey (optional): If you like your shake sweeter, add some honey. It’s natural and has some health benefits.
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract: This gives the shake a nice flavor.
- Ice Cubes (optional): Add ice if you want your shake cold and thick, especially nice on a hot day.
- Pinch of Cinnamon (optional): A little cinnamon can add a warm taste to your shake.
Tools:
- Blender: To mix everything smoothly.
- Measuring Spoons & Cup: For measuring the ingredients.
- Knife & Cutting Board: To slice the banana.
How to Make It
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel and slice the banana. This helps it blend easier and makes your shake smooth.
- Measure out the peanut butter, milk, honey, and vanilla extract so everything is ready.
- Blend It Up:
- Put the banana slices, 2 tablespoons of Richganics Peanut Butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the blender.
- Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds.
- Adjust the Thickness:
- If you want a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and the shake is the consistency you like.
