Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 2 slices cooked bacon
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of milk (or almond milk), 2 slices of cooked bacon, 1 tablespoon of honey (if desired), and a handful of ice cubes.
- Peel the ripe bananas and break them into smaller pieces. This will make them easier to blend.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 1 cup of milk (or almond milk). If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add the tablespoon of honey at this stage.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will help to chill the smoothie and give it a thicker consistency.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of banana or peanut butter left.
- While the smoothie is blending, take the cooked bacon slices and crumble them into small pieces. Set aside a small amount for garnish if desired.
- Once the smoothie is blended to your liking, stop the blender and add the crumbled bacon to the mixture. Pulse the blender a few times to incorporate the bacon without completely blending it in.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses. If you set aside some crumbled bacon, sprinkle it on top as a garnish for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Elvis Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your smoothie will be. Look for bananas with brown spots for maximum flavor.
- Peanut Butter Options: Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter depending on your texture preference. For a healthier option, choose natural peanut butter with no added sugars.
- Milk Alternatives: Feel free to substitute regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk for a different flavor profile.
- Bacon Preparation: For the best flavor, use thick-cut bacon and cook it until crispy. This will give your smoothie a delightful crunch.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you like your smoothies on the sweeter side, don’t hesitate to add more honey or even a splash of maple syrup.
- Chill Your Ingredients: For an extra refreshing smoothie, freeze your bananas ahead of time or use frozen ice cubes.
- Blend in Stages: Start by blending the bananas, peanut butter, and milk first before adding ice and bacon to ensure a smoother consistency.
- Garnish Creatively: Sprinkle extra crumbled bacon or a drizzle of honey on top for a gourmet touch before serving.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Try adding a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for an extra nutritional boost without sacrificing flavor.Enjoy your smoothie adventure and don’t forget to share your delicious creation with friends!
