In a high-speed blender, combine the milk, sliced frozen banana, peanut butter, flax seeds, vanilla, and optional collagen peptides. Secure the lid and blend until smooth, about 60 seconds.

Once the mixture is smooth, add a small handful of ice cubes and blend again. This will create a slushy, ice-cream-like texture. (Be careful not to add too much ice, or you'll dilute the flavor too much.)

As soon as it reaches a consistency you like, it's ready to serve right away. If you want to adjust the flavor, you can add an extra spoonful of peanut butter or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to boost the sweetness.
