Instructions:

Peel and slice the bananas. Add the sliced bananas, peanut butter, whole milk, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and honey/maple syrup into a blender. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, you can add more milk to adjust the consistency. Once blended to your desired consistency, pour the shake into a large glass or divide it into smaller portions if you prefer. Optionally, you can add ice cubes if you prefer your shake to be colder.

Tips:

Customize it: Feel free to customize the shake according to your preferences and dietary needs. You can add other ingredients like protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even vegetables like spinach for added nutrition. Portion control: If the shake is too much for one serving, you can split it into multiple servings and consume it throughout the day. Adjust sweetness: Depending on your taste preferences, you can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup. Use frozen fruits: If you prefer a colder and thicker shake, you can use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones. Remember, while this shake is high in calories, it is also packed with nutrients from the various ingredients. Enjoy it as part of a balanced diet!
