Easy Peanut Punch Recipe with Peanut Butter

Skip To Recipe

Peanut punch is a peanut smoothie that is a favorite throughout the Caribbean. My peanut punch recipe uses peanut butter, banana and dairy and takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

It is the perfect summer drink on a hot day! Blend the ingredients with ice for an even more refreshing afternoon treat.

Ingredients for peanut punch

  • peanut butter: smooth or crunchy, it doesn’t matter as long as it blends well. You can also toast peanuts and grind them to make your own peanut paste for this recipe.
  • banana: ripe banana to an overripe one is great here. It can also be frozen.
  • evaporated milk: I usually use evaporated milk but you can substitute with non-dairy options like almond milk to make a vegan peanut punch.
  • condensed milk: although this adds wonderful creaminess, feel free to use a sweetener of your choice like brown sugar.
  • vanilla extract: adds subtle flavor to the punch.
  • cinnamon: the powder also adds a unique comforting flavor
  • nutmeg: I love how noticeable freshly grated nutmeg is in this punch.
  • ice [optional]
  • add-ons: this is optional but you can add in toasted oats, Angostura bitters, cardamom powder, chia seeds, ground flaxseed and granola. You can even pour in a little Caribbean rum if you like too. The variations are endless

Equipment

This recipe is best made using a blender. I’m using the Nutri cup of my Ninja kitchen system here.

Pour the drink over ice and serve immediately for a refreshing summer drink. You can also refrigerate the drink and serve later. It can last for about 1 to 2 days in the fridge.

Feel free to garnish the drink with a pinch of nutmeg or granola when serving.
