Can’t choose between a peanut butter and banana sandwich or apples with peanut butter? Don’t! Try this Apple Banana Smoothie with Peanut Powder instead!
Have you tried peanut powder yet?
Well, what are you waiting for?
With less calories and fat than traditional peanut butter, peanut powder can add protein and flavor to your recipes. I’ve been enjoying it in my oatmeal in the mornings and even put it on Cheerios now and then!
Then, one fine morning I was looking for some fruit to make a smoothie to take with me on the road. I found a frozen banana and was just about to make a banana berry smoothie when…
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it. I rubbed my eyes; I took a second glance. Could it be? Is this the magic ingredient I’ve been searching for? With the back of my hand on my forehead, I gasped, “Oh, peanut powder, where have you been all my life?”
OK, maybe it wasn’t that dramatic, but we like to have a little fun around here. 🙂
So, needless to say, the berries were out, the peanut powder was in and that would have been the end of it until…
I saw that lonesome apple sitting in the fruit bowl…
I bet you can guess what happened next!
how to make this apple banana smoothie
Start by adding a frozen banana to your blender. I cut up my bananas before freezing to make the blending process easier. Then add chopped apple, coconut milk and peanut powder.
Blend until smooth. Top with ground cinnamon.
OR…you can take it up a notch by adding your favorite non-dairy whipped topping followed by ground cinnamon.
Either way, it’s delicious! 😉

can you use peanut butter instead of peanut powder ?
Hi Kenzie! I haven’t tried making it with peanut butter, but you can definitely use it instead of the powder. It shouldn’t change the consistency too much since it’s such a small amount, but if it comes out too thick, you can always add more coconut milk. Also, the powder does not have any salt or sugar, so if the peanut butter you’re using does, it will change the flavor a little as well. Hope that helps! Enjoy your smoothie and thanks for stopping by! 🙂
That sounds delicious. I’ve never even heard of peanut powder… where did you find it if you don’t mind me asking?
Thanks Kaitie! I found it in our local grocery store. This is the brand I bought and they seem to have an online store: http://crazyrichards.com/shop/. I also saw some other brands on Amazon. Hope that helps!
This smoothie looks so delicious. I love using peanuts in various recipes. I will try this soon.
Thank you Deepika! Enjoy! 🙂

This looks amazing. I recently got to try peanut powder because my son outgrew his peanut allergy. I LOVE it in my smoothies! So excited to try your recipe!
Thanks Cindy! Glad to hear he outgrew the allergy – that’s great! Enjoy!

Thank you Dawn! 🙂 You can find the peanut powder with the regular peanut butter in most grocery stores. Enjoy! 🙂
Oh man, I have been wanting to try peanut butter powder forever, but it used to be so hard to find! I think it is much easier now, so I need to get on that! I love peanut butter banana and apple together, so this smoothie looks totally delicious!
