Peanut Butter Banana Chia Smoothie: No Sugar Added
Do you have any peanut butter lovers in the house??
I must confess that I LOVE it and MUST measure out the tablespoon or I am prone to overeat on it for sure. So making this fulfills my taste for it and fills me up completely till lunch!
Having one of these is the quickest way to get a breakfast in and still do other things while sipping it or taking it in the car to go! Not to mention I love not having to “cook” anything and dumping everything in the blender is the best part. 🙂
* I used Sweetleaf Stevia, English Toffee in liquid, but any stevia will work fine. You could even try it without any stevia at all, it may be sweet enough with the banana.

Love you site so blessed to have found your website. On this smoothie could you use PB2.
I haven’t tried it with PB2 as it contains sugar so if you do use it you might want to eliminate stevia. Thank you!
Yummy… I’m running out today to score some Chia seeds!
I’ve been making this for my 9yo daughter, but adding in a big handful of spinach to make an awesome Green Monster. Thanks for all the great recipes, I’ve made several lately and they’ve all been a hit!
Thanks for sharing this recipe! We eat chia with everything…oatmeal, salads, kombucha and now smoothies! This looks great, I am going to make it in the morning for my family!
I never put it in my oatmeal so I will give it a try, thanks!
This looks so yummy! I am making this tomorrow morning. Thanks for the great recipe!
ok, this confirms it! I need to get to whole foods and get myself some Chia seeds asap! I am so curious about this ingredient and dying to give them a try – I keep seeing recipes popping up with them.
I love PB, love bananas, let’s see how I love chia. Does chia have a particular taste?
I didn’t try them on their own, but in the smoothie I can’t notice much else but the PB LOL!!! I had been seeing them pop up everywhere too and now that I have a jar I am throwing them in all my newer recipes!
Chia seeds have a strong “nutty” flavor. But, I do not taste them when mixed with other foods like oatmeal or in smoothies. Just my own observation. 🙂
I’ll be making this soon – YUUUMMM! We love smoothies at this house!
This looks delicious! I love a good peanut butter banana smoothie. I make it quite often with one banana, one cup almond milk, and one tablespoon pb. I will have to try your recipe – sounds great 🙂
Where would one find the chia seeds? Not chai ( like the tea) right?
Yes CHIA not like the tea. I found mine at Whole Foods but I believe you could find them elsewhere.
you can get them at gnc for 10 dollars a bag
