Peanut Butter Banana Skyr Shake

Yield

  • Servings: 1
  • Serving size: 1 smoothie (~32 oz)
  • Total yield: 1 large smoothie (~32 oz)

Time

  • Prep: 5 min
  • Cook: 0 min
  • Total: 5 min

Ingredients

  • Whole milk: 240 ml (1 cup)
  • Skyr, whole‑milk: 180 g (≈¾ cup)
  • Cottage cheese, 4% milkfat: 170 g (¾ cup)
  • Vanilla ice cream: 1 medium scoop (½ cup) — optional but recommended
  • Peanut butter: 16 g (1 Tbsp)
  • Banana: ≈240 g total (2 medium) — ripe, spotted
  • Cocoa powder: 1 Tbsp — optional
  • Kosher salt: pinch — optional
  • Ice cubes: 4–6 — as needed
  • Water: splash — to adjust thickness if needed

Instructions

Relatively healthy. High calories, high protein. Creamy and sweet but not too sugary.

1. Blend

  • Blend all ingredients on high until very smooth (45–60 seconds).

2. Serve

  • Pour into a glass.

Notes / Make-ahead / Variations

  • Calorie control: Omitting the ice cream drops ≈130 kcal; adding 1 tsp honey adds ≈20 kcal.
  • Higher protein: Use ultrafiltered (fairlife) milk or increase cottage cheese to 1 cup (adjust water to keep texture).
  • Lactose‑friendly: Use lactose‑free milk and cottage cheese; many skyr brands are naturally low‑lactose.
  • Nut‑free: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini.
  • Texture tips: For extra thickness, use one frozen banana; for a lighter shake, skip the ice.

Storage & reheating

  • Refrigerate up to 24 hours in a sealed bottle; separation is normal—shake or re‑blend briefly. For best texture, drink fresh.

Troubleshooting

  • Too thick: Thin with 30–60 ml water or milk and re‑blend.
  • Too thin: Add a few ice cubes or ¼ frozen banana and re‑blend.
  • Dairy lumps: Blend the liquids (milk, skyr, cottage cheese) before adding the rest.
