Peanut Butter Milkshakes

So weird that I'm writing about making milkshakes on a day that's cold and rainy.

I suppose this could be a dessert. But "healthy" means you can eat it whenever you want, right? It doesn't have to be a dessert. In fact, throw in some protein and you can make it a pre- or post-workout protein shake (which is what I did). I halved the original recipe.

Bananas (I actually used frozen, but used non-frozen for the picture), natural creamy peanut butter, honey, coconut milk, pure vanilla extract

Combine everything in the blender.

As you can see, I needed a lot more liquid.

I added a scoop of vanilla protein shake mix. I considered the chocolate, and regret not using it (next time!).

Protein mix in the blender.

 With a lot more coconut milk.

It was less frozen, more liquid, because I didn't use frozen bananas and I used a lot more coconut milk than the recipe called for.

Still delicious.

And too thick to eat with a straw.

Peanut Butter Milkshakes (vegan & gluten free) (modified)

1 banana (if you want to use a frozen banana, slice it before you freeze it)
1 1/2 T natural creamy peanut butter
1 T honey (I'm not vegan, but I know there is debate over whether or not honey is considered vegan. You can substitute another sweetener.)
1/4 c almond or coconut milk (regular milk can be used if you want - I didn't measure this, so this is approximate. Use more or less if you want.)
1/4 t pure vanilla extract
Optional: 1 scoop of protein mix (depending on the mix, you may lose the "vegan" and/or the "gluten free")

Combine everything in a blender. Add more almond or coconut milk if needed.
