Two delicious smoothie recipes using peanut butter powder for a perfect light breakfast or a simple and protein-packed afternoon snack.

What is Powdered Peanut Butter?

Powdered peanut butter, or pb powder, is made by pressing roasted peanuts to remove most of their natural oils and then grinding them into a fine powder. This process significantly reduces the fat content while maintaining the peanut flavor and protein.

To use it, you can mix it with water to create a peanut butter-like spread or add it directly to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, or sauces for a nutty flavor without the extra fat and calories of traditional peanut butter. Many brands also add a bit of sugar and salt for flavor, but you can find unsweetened versions as well.

Powdered peanut butter typically contains about 5–6 grams of protein per 2-tablespoon (12g) serving, depending on the brand. This is slightly less than regular peanut butter, which has around 7–8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons, but with significantly less fat and fewer calories.

Since the fat is mostly removed, powdered peanut butter is often used as a lower-calorie alternative while still providing a good protein boost for smoothies, oatmeal, or baking.

Before making a peanut butter powder smoothie, make sure you have a high-powered blender.  This is the one we use:

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe

The Lineup: A few simple Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana, ripe: The riper, the sweeter, adding natural sugars and a creamy texture.
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter powder: You could also use regular peanut butter here if you prefer it.  Almond butter or cashew butter would work too!
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder: Unsweetened for that deep chocolatey goodness.
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite milk): Adds just the right amount of liquid for blending.  I actually prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any milk will work!
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional): Only if you have a serious sweet tooth.
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: A little splash for warmth.
• Ice cubes: Optional, but they add a frosty chill and a little thickening.
• Optional toppings: Sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa nibs if you’re feeling fancy.

Instructions

1. Start by peeling a ripe banana and tossing it into your blender.
2. Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, almond milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener if you’re using one.
3. Throw in a handful of ice cubes for that refreshing texture.
4. Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy.
5. Pour into your favorite glass, add any toppings you would like, and enjoy!

Why I Love This Smoothie

It hits all the right notes—sweet, salty, and satisfyingly rich. Plus, bananas bring a powerhouse punch of potassium and fiber, while peanut butter gives you that protein boost. Cocoa? It adds antioxidants and a touch of luxury.

I also love that this smoothie can easily be customized. Swap the cocoa powder for chocolate protein powder if you need an extra energy boost. Go dairy-free with almond or oat milk. And if you’re feeling extra healthy, throw in a handful of spinach. Trust me, you won’t even taste it.
