  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (14 g) 
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (30 g) 
  • 1 large frozen banana (160 g, or 1.5 small to medium banana)
  • 1/4–1/2 tsp ground turmeric, optional

NOTES
  • To reduce the calories and fat in this smoothie, use peanut butter powder (up to 4 tbsp) instead of peanut butter.
  • To increase calories for weight gain, add an additional 1-2 tbsp of peanut butter, half a frozen banana, and add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • For a thick ice cream-like smoothie bowl, use just 1/2 cup of almond milk. Blend on low, using a tamper as needed until you have a thick, creamy consistency. Scoop into a bowl, add toppings and enjoy!
