- 6 tablespoons ice water
- Fresh raspberries to garnish (optional)
Instructions

- The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess; adjust the amount to taste.
- For a thinner consistency, add more ice water or a splash of milk or plant-based milk.
- Choose natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
- This smoothie works well as a quick breakfast or post-workout snack because of its protein and healthy fat content.
