Just 4 ingredients! No added sugar or artificial ingredients! This Low Calorie Peanut Butter Banana Spinach Smoothie is here to make your New Year’s resolution a breeze.
Oh heeey, January! How did you get here so fast?
Did some of those Christmas cookies linger a bit too long on the hips? No? Just me? Or perhaps you just like delicious smoothies that pack in healthy spinach and tons of flavor without a million calories? Me too. Looking to do a total reset? Start with this ginger detox drink then move on to healthy smoothies and healthy filling salad recipes!
It looks like the healthy green smoothie that it is but it tastes just like a decadent, calorie rich peanut butter banana milk shake!
The secret is PB2. I found this magical stuff at the grocery store and haven’t looked back. It’s essentially roasted peanuts pressed to remove 85% of the fat! 2 tablespoons has only 45 calories and there are no weird ingredients. Get out!

This flavorful smoothie clocks in at only 235 calories but still has over 13 grams of filling protein. I’ve been fueling up with this smoothie post workout and powering through the rest of the holiday craziness!
Fuel up without filling out. That’s the tagline for this smoothie, because what self-respecting smoothie doesn’t have a tagline? It could also be the tagline of this strawberry banana spinach smoothie, which is equally delicious.
You can further slash the calories by using unsweetened almond milk, but you will also forgo some of that filling protein. Your call!
Low Calorie Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened soymilk
- 1 banana frozen, cut in ½ inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons PB2
- 1 cup spinach
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender, Magic Bullet or Nutribullet. I use a Nutribullet because it processes it finer and it’s already in a cup to go!
ahhhh I’ve heard of this PB2! Maybe I should give it a shot! Love the smoothie
you must, you must, you must!!!!
Happy Happy New Year, Lindsey! Green smoothies are exactly what I’ve been craving for right now too! I love your peanut butter and banana version! I have some PB2 in my pantry and can’t wait to try this smoothie!
P.S. Hope you’re having a great trip so far 🙂
I just got back to the States. NZ was amazing but real life calls! I will be making this smoothie as soon as I can get my hands on some ripe bananas!
This looks like the perfect smoothie to lead me into drinking my greens! Happy 2015 to you lady!
THanks, Pamela! Happy new year to you too!
Looks absolutely amazing! Congratulations on a fantastic year, and best wishes for a wonderful 2015 filled with lots of delicious food!

Happy New Year Kristi! Xoxox
Yum!! The smoothie seems really good! My mom just got a VitaMix so I’m super excited to try this! I actually ordered PB2 I think a year ago online! I wasn’t aware they sold it in stores as well!!
Thanks, Steph! I just recently started seeing PB2 in my grocery store, so I think it’s probably pretty recent! Enjoy!
Yay! I’m going to keep a look out for it then, hehe 🙂 I love love love peanut butter! And with less fat, omg, so much better!
I know, right?! It’s almost too good to be true! {but it is, I promise}
Haha, yay~ I just arrived at school with 0 food at all! I will be keeping an eye out for PB2 when I go grocery shopping today >:)
Haha! I know that feeling! Good luck!
A great idea for a smoothie. I love smoothies and make them pretty often especially for my girls, I am curious if they would love this one.
