Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake Recipe
I have a breakfast shake or smoothie almost every morning. We all know that breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. For me it’s also my most sensitive meal of the day. What I have for breakfast can seriously make or break the rest of my day. If I have anything too sugary or carb-loaded I am left with zero energy.
Lately I have been so tired all day. It’s really been taking a toll on me. Not sure what my problem is, but definitely trying to combat it with a healthier lifestyle. A friend introduced me to this breakfast shake and it’s been helping quite a bit.
Energizing Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake Recipe
I created a delicious breakfast shake recipe. Here’s what you need:
- 5 Ice Cubes
- 1 Packet Protein Powder
- 1 Cup Coconut Milk
- 1 tbs Peanut Butter Chocolate PB2 (powdered peanut butter that contains less fat & calories)
- 1/2 Large Banana
Adding the banana to this mix makes it even more filling. I am kept satisfied all morning and even well into a normal lunch time. When I drink this I don’t crave my normal mid-morning snack. I find myself more focused and filled with non-jittery energy. Super bonus!
Since I’ve been drinking this shake I have the steady energy to be productive throughout the day instead of in spurts. I don’t feel the overwhelming urge to take a nap, nor do I feel the need for afternoon coffee as often.
For a thicker and heartier breakfast, give this peanut butter banana smoothie bowl a try next.

What do you like in a breakfast shake?
This breakfast shake looks so delicious. I like that it gives energy! I like Protein smoothies because they keep me full. I like this smoothie that I make called the Banana-Oat Protein Smoothie. And I love the Orange Creamsicle Protein Smoothie. They taste delicious!
YUM! I love coconut milk and really love my Peanut butter, these are the best smoothies! Very filling.
Occasionally I’ll make a morning smoothie/shake which I add protein powder to along with milk and banana. Thrive sounds like it’d be a good alternative to a whey protein powder if it can provide more antioxidants and healthy nutrients. I know that I also need to have something sustaining in the morning to carry me through the rest of the day. If I don’t, I’ll get fatigued from the sugar crash after lunch.
I don’t like coconut milk. I use soy in my smoothies instead.
Looks good and great way to get the day started!
I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Thrive lately and in one of those shakes, I could definitley get behind a product like that 🙂 Yum!
Yum. I need to look into this more. It’s on my list!
mmmm. i love PB2 and shakes are a favorite here during the hot summer months as a breakfast swap for cereal.
I’ll bet my kids would really like this. They’re big PB fans. I”ve been hearing good things about Thrive too!
