Pediasure Peanut Butter Banana Toast

Pediasure Peanut Butter Banana Toast
Venturing beyond the usual breakfast routine? This Pediasure-infused peanut butter banana toast brings a nutritional boost to your morning without sacrificing that comforting flavor you crave. It’s quick, satisfying, and perfect for busy days when you need both fuel and simplicity. You’ll love how easily it comes together while keeping things deliciously wholesome.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices artisanal sourdough bread, approximately 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter, stirred to incorporate oils
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • ¼ cup vanilla Pediasure nutritional drink
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey
  • ½ teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted European-style butter
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place both sourdough slices on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the surface is crisp. Tip: Toasting in the oven rather than a toaster allows for more even browning and prevents burning.
  3. Remove the toasted bread from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack for 2 minutes to prevent the peanut butter from melting immediately upon contact.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of creamy natural peanut butter evenly across each warm toast slice, covering the surface completely.
  5. Arrange the banana slices in a single, overlapping layer over the peanut butter on both toasts.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of vanilla Pediasure evenly over the banana arrangement on each toast.
  7. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted European-style butter until it begins to foam slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add 1 teaspoon of raw honey and ½ teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon to the melted butter, whisking continuously for 30 seconds until fully incorporated and fragrant.
  9. Drizzle the honey-cinnamon butter mixture evenly over both prepared toasts.
  10. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of chia seeds over each toast as a finishing touch. Tip: Chia seeds add subtle crunch and extra fiber, but press them gently into the surface to prevent rolling off.
  11. Let the assembled toasts rest for 1 minute before serving to allow the Pediasure to slightly soak into the bread. Tip: This brief resting period helps the flavors meld while maintaining ideal textural contrast between crisp toast and soft toppings.

Perfectly balanced between creamy peanut butter, sweet banana, and the subtle vanilla notes from the Pediasure, this toast delivers a satisfying chew with occasional crunchy bursts from the chia seeds. The cinnamon-honey butter creates a glossy, aromatic glaze that makes each bite feel special. Try serving it alongside a cold glass of milk or crumbling it over Greek yogurt for an unexpected breakfast parfait twist.

  3. Place 1 medium sliced and frozen banana into the blender—using frozen fruit creates that signature thick, spoonable consistency.
  4. Spoon ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt into the mixture for added creaminess and protein content.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of raw honey over the ingredients to balance the tartness of the strawberries.
  6. Add ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile.
  7. Drop 2-3 ice cubes into the blender to ensure the mixture stays cold during blending.
  8. Secure the blender lid tightly and begin blending on low speed for 15 seconds to initially combine the ingredients.
  9. Increase to high speed and blend for 45-60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades if necessary, until completely smooth and thick.
  10. Pour the smoothie mixture immediately into a chilled serving bowl to maintain its temperature and texture.

Outstandingly creamy with just the right thickness for holding toppings, this bowl delivers sweet strawberry notes balanced by the mellow banana undertones. The vanilla Pediasure adds a subtle malted quality that makes it feel both nourishing and indulgent—try drizzling with almond butter or sprinkling with chia seeds for extra texture contrast.
