What’s In this Protein Smoothie with Bananas?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Bananas – I like to peel and freeze my extra bananas, which are perfect for this smoothie.
  • Milk – you can use any variety you like!  The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.  I used an almond milk for this one, as it’s my go-to for smoothies.
  • Walnuts: because I love adding these to my smoothies.
  • Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder
  • Vanilla Extract

Frozen Banana Recipes For the Win!

I used frozen bananas for this recipe instead of using fresh. By freezing bananas, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have amazing frozen fruit to add right to my blender.

      Hi Linda – thank you! Great question on the protein powder. If you do substitute it with oats (1/4 cup should be great, I add that to my smoothies often!) also make sure to add something else for a little sweetness – perhaps 1-2 dates or 1 teaspoon of agave nectar/maple syrup. That way, you get some of the sweetness from the protein powder along with the protein + fiber of the oats! If you try it, let me know how it goes and I’ll add a note in the recipe card 🙂
