A Favourite: Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Grae and I have been making versions of this delicious smoothie since she was a wee little thing, and it remains a favourite.  It’s nutritious, filling, and tastes more like a thick and creamy milkshake than a good-for-you smoothie.  {Milkshakes for breakfast? Yes please.}

We most often add a leafy green to add a punch of veggie goodness (truthfully, we’re so accustomed to drinking green smoothies that it sort of feels like a waste to not include one), but today we slurped them up without.  Either way is super yummy, and I promise that adding a couple of big handfuls of spinach or kale will only change this smoothie’s colour – not its taste!

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie {with oats & chia}

• 2 ripe bananas, frozen
• 1 cup of your milk of choice (almond or coconut are especially delicious!)
• 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
• 4 tablespoons of old-fashioned oats
• 3 tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

• 2 big handfuls of kale or spinach leaves {optional}

Put ingredients into a blender and blend well.  Top with cinnamon, hemp hearts, chia seeds, or a dollop of peanut butter if desired.

Enjoy!
