Peanut butter banana smoothie with spinach
Peanut butter banana smoothie with spinach is a healthy breakfast or snack and full of wholesome ingredients!
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup plain nonfat or 2% Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1-3 tablespoons milk of choice (see notes)
- Honey, to taste
Instructions
- Add bananas, spinach, Greek yogurt, peanut butter and chia seeds to the blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Add milk to get the desired consistency and honey to sweeten, as needed.
- Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!
Notes
The chia seeds are optional. I like adding them for some extra nutrition but you can skip them if you don’t have any.
I add about 2 tablespoons of milk or so to get these to the right consistency for my kids to drink them with a straw. Do a splash at a time until it’s how you want it - thinner for a drinkable smoothie or thicker for a smoothie bowl. (And you can use any kind of milk here.)
Fun topping ideas include: Chia or hemp seeds, sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, fresh or frozen berries (we love strawberries with this) and granola. (My 5-ingredient peanut butter granola would be great here!)
