Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cups seedless red grapes
- ½ to 1 slightly ripe banana sliced
- ½ cup plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- Optional scoop of vegan protein powder
Instructions
- Place the grapes and banana slices in a freezer-safe container with a lid. Freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight.
- Add the frozen grapes, banana, plant-based milk, peanut butter, and protein powder (if using) to a high-speed blender.Blend for about 3 minutes, using the plunger to push down the frozen mixture as needed. Do not add extra plant-based milk or the grape flavor will weaken.
- Allow the blender to run until the mixture becomes smooth. The frozen fruit will naturally soften as it blends.
- Taste and adjust: if the smoothie is too sweet from the grapes, add more peanut butter to balance the flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe bananas: Look for some brown spots for the sweetest flavor, though as long as they’re ripe, they’ll work well.
- For easy blending: Place liquids and soft ingredients closest to the blades. This helps the machine blend frozen ingredients with less strain.
- Red vs green grapes: Either will work, though the latter has more of a tart flavor. Add some sweetener if preferred.
