Ingredients

For this homemade recipe, I used:

  • 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 to overripe are great here.
  • evaporated milk: you can substitute with non-dairy options here like coconut, almond or another nut 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 essence
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg
  • ice (optional)
  • optional additions: try adding toasted oats, Angostura bitters, cardamom or ginger powder, chia seeds, ground flaxseed and granola. Make it boozy with a little Caribbean rum too. The variations are endless and tasty!

How to make peanut punch

Step 1: Add all ingredients to a blender (I’m using the Nutri cup of my Ninja kitchen system here). If you have the time, chill the ingredients beforehand if you are planning to serve the drink right away. But, this isn’t necessary.

Step 2: Blend until smooth and fully incorporated. Serve immediately with ice or chill in the fridge. It can last about 3 days in there. Feel free to garnish the drink with a pinch of nutmeg or granola when serving. Sometimes, I pour the punch into these popsicles molds I got on Amazon. The popsicles make a perfect, refreshing afternoon treat.
