High Protein Peanut Butter Banana Shake

Today I scored BIG.

I headed to our local Amish bulk goods store with both kids in tow. I was harried by the time I got there but I was determined to stock up on dark chocolate chips and get out of there as quick as possible. I had one kid in each arm and could have dropped them both when I saw the price for a box of bananas.

$4.00 for a LARGE box of bananas

$4.00 for approximately 100 bananas. I call that a GOOD deal!

So, 200 bananas made their way home with me and I am on a dehydrating and freezing spree. (I should have taken pictures of it all this afternoon but my hands were covered…in bananas)

We use frozen bananas in many of our dairy-free desserts. Most frequently our homemade shakes. For an added health boost, we’re throwing in some chia seeds and some collagen for a huge boost of protein!


Peanut Butter Shake


  1. 1 frozen banana

  2. 1 cup milk or milk substitute I use almond milk

  3. 1/3 cup natural peanut butter

  4. 1 Tb chia seeds

  5. 1 Tb collagen

  6. 1 Tbs honey

  7. 1 tsp vanilla

  8. 6 ice cubes


Place all ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into glass and serve immediately or place in freezer for 30 minutes for a thicker consistency.

Recipe Notes

  1. Optional add-ins: flax seed, oatmeal, coconut oil

  2. For a chocolate peanut butter version, simply add in 1 Tbs of cocoa powder.
