If you’re as in love with peanut butter as much as I am, you absolutely must give this smoothie a try. To make this one that much better, it combines bananas and peanut butter; anyone remember those peanut butter and banana sandwiches your mom used to make for you when you were little? I have to admit I still make these for myself from time to time (delicious!). More frequently though, I throw this childhood favorite together for my little girl who happens to LOVE bananas, i.e. she’d eat a banana every meal of the day if she could. This smoothie then has become a real winner in our house, among the adults and toddlers!
It’s so simple and easy to throw together, and uses ingredients that we keep on hand every week. Just add your favorite gluten free peanut butter, bananas, and a milk base and you’re good to go! The best part is that you get to enjoy the healthy benefits of the banana peanut butter sandwich in smoothie form. A great serving of protein from the peanut butter, potassium from the bananas, and calcium from your milk base of choice, can’t go wrong!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup DREAM Blends Unsweetened Coconut, Almond, & Chia Drink (I also like Silk Unsweetened Coconut & Almond Milk)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tbsp peanut butter (Smart Balance is gluten free)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
Enjoy the tasty combo of peanut butter and banana as a smoothie for an addition to your breakfast, snack, or lunch!
Sincerely,
Lindsay
