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!
Miss G and I continue to start most of our days with a big green smoothie each, and I must say, we’re loving it. It’s become a morning routine for us… Grae retrieves the blender and fresh produce, I grab the freezer ingredients and chop things up, she puts everything into the blender, and together we enjoy our mason jars of green goodness.
