Equipment

  • Microwave or stovetop
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy preferred
  • 1 ripe banana peeled and sliced
  • 1 handful ice cubes frozen for chill

Instructions
 

  • Pour the milk into a microwave-safe container and warm it for about 15 seconds until it’s slightly heated and fragrant.

  • Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is silky, creamy, and uniform in color with no visible chunks.

  • If desired, sprinkle a tiny dash of cinnamon on top for extra aroma and presentation.
