Low Calorie Peanut Butter Smoothie Benefits:
This 200-calorie smoothie is not only tasty but offers an abundance of benefits too.
The main benefit is weight loss. The smoothie is filling, but very low in calories, making it ideal for individuals who are trying to lose weight.
A full list of the benefits include:
- Energy Boosting: Bananas are a good source of natural sugars and carbohydrates, providing a quick energy boost.
- Rich in Potassium: Bananas are high in potassium, which is essential for many different parts of your body.
- Healthy Fats: Peanut butter contains healthy fats that are good for heart health and can help keep you feeling full longer.
- Fiber Content: Both the date and the banana provide dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes a healthy gut.
- Antioxidant Properties: Cinnamon is known for its antioxidant properties, which can help combat oxidative stress in the body.
- Hydration: The water in the smoothie helps maintain hydration, which is crucial for overall health.
- Vitamins and Minerals: This smoothie provides various vitamins and minerals from its natural ingredients, supporting overall nutrition.
- Supports Weight Loss: Being low in calories yet filling due to the fiber in the banana and date, and the protein in the peanut butter, this smoothie can help with weight loss by promoting satiety.
This 200-calorie peanut butter smoothie was actually inspired by my 149-calorie berry smoothie and my high protein 300 calorie smoothie.

Tasty Recipe Variations
There are several different variations of this recipe that you could try, should you want to.
For example, you could have a completely different flavor, or even swap the bananas if you don’t like them!
Here are some of the tested variations that I recommend that you try:
- Substitute The Banana: Instead of 1 small banana as the recipe states, use 1/2 cup of frozen mango or pineapple chunks.
- Swap The Peanut Butter: Not a peanut butter fan? Swap the peanut butter for almond butter, or a nut-free sunflower seed butter.
- Chocolate Flavored: Make this smoothie chocolate flavored for only 12 extra calories! Add a tablespoon of nut butter.
