Chef’s Note
Using frozen fruit is great for smoothies because it gives the drink an icy, thick texture. However, you can use fresh, ripe bananas if that is what you have on hand. Slice the fresh bananas into pieces and add them to the blender as usual. To still get the frosty texture, add a handful of ice to the blender.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes. If you’ve already blended the smoothie, you can keep it in the freezer. Let it thaw, and mix any separated ingredients before enjoying. However, if you know you want to make it for meal prep, you could simply measure out all the ingredients and put them in plastic bags to freeze. Then in the morning, all you have to do is add to your blender, and blend until smooth.
How to Store
- Serve: After blending the ingredients together, you don’t want to leave this frozen drink sitting out at room temperature for more than a half hour, or it will melt.
- Store: Add a lid to the glass, or cover it in plastic wrap. It can stay good in the fridge for 1-2 days. Note, if you know you’ll be storing the drink in the fridge, you can pour it into a mason jar for easy storage.
- Freeze: You can add to an airtight, freezer-safe container to store it for up to 3 months. Don’t use a glass container for the fridge, as the ingredients expand when freezing and can crack the glass. To thaw the frozen smoothie, let it sit in the fridge the night before serving it. The ingredients might separate while it thaws, so be sure to mix it before drinking.
Alternative Blending Methods
- Food processor: One easy alternative if you don’t have a blender is preparing in a food processor. Food processors are often even more powerful than blenders, so you can achieve the creamy texture you want pretty quickly. The main downside is that pouring the smoothie into a glass is more difficult. As long as you go slowly, it shouldn’t be a problem.
- Immersion blender: Another option is using an immersion blender. For this version, you’ll add the milk, bananas, honey, and peanut butter to a large mixing bowl. Then put an immersion blender in the bowl so that it’s halfway covered by the mixture. Turn it on and blend until smooth.
