Mmmm… Orange creamsicle green smoothie. My absolute favourite at the moment. So good I could drink one every morning and then again every afternoon as a little pick-me-up. And even though Grae seems to be not be all that into smoothies at the moment, she almost always slurps this one up until there’s nothing left.

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.}
{Green} Banana Nut Milkshake Smoothie
Miss G and I have been loving this simple twist on the first ever smoothie we really made together. Unlike many of our other green smoothies, this one is creamy and milk-based {and tastes more like a milkshake than a green smoothie}.
For extra flavour and an extra burst of nutrients, my little smoothie lover and I top our drinks with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. Of course she just slurps it all up.
{Green} Banana Nut Milkshake Smoothie
- 2 frozen bananas
- 3 large kale stalks, stems removed (or a couple of giant handfuls of spinach)
- 1/4 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons of all-natural nut butter (we usually use peanut)
- 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts
- 1 tablespoon of ground flax
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla
- 1/2 a cup of plain yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups of the milk of your choice (we often use an unsweetened vanilla almond)
Blend on low until everything is combined, then blend on high for an additional 45 seconds. Serves two.
Enjoy!
