Which peanut butter should I use? Feel free to use any peanut butter you prefer; it doesn’t matter if it’s crunchy or creamy since it’s going to be blended until really smooth.
How can I substitute the bananas? If you don’t like bananas, you can use strawberries, blueberries, mango, avocado, or pineapple.
How can I replace the peanut butter? You can use almond butter instead, but If you’re allergic, you can replace with soy butter or sunflower butter.
Can I add oatmeal? Of course, you can add rolled oats to your drink, to make it even richer in fiber and super filling.
Can I add protein powder? This smoothie is already packed with protein. But it doesn’t mean you can’t add your favorite powder protein if that’s what you prefer.
