Peanut Butter Banana Shake

 There are a lot of banana shake recipes out there. I tried a few and wasn't happy. The ones that called for cooked oatmeal didn't make it very far! This one was really good. The kids all wanted more, so that's a good sign!

In a blender blend:


2 bananas, frozen and cut into chunks*
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
8 oz Greek vanilla honey yogurt

* I peeled and placed two bananas in a ziploc bag the night before.

Green Smoothie

I did another experiment with baby spinach and thought this smoothie was really yummy!


In a blender mix:


6 ice cubes
1, 1/2 cup milk
1 banana

1/2 cup strawberry yogurt
1 cup spinach
1 cup frozen fruit mix (peach, mango, pineapple, strawberry)
2 T sugar

Spinach Berry Smoothie

We eat a LOT of home-baked goods around here. I decided that we needed to have more fruit in our diets. We eat lots of vegies, but I don't buy fruit. I hate the texture of fruit on my teeth, and it always tastes too tart. I experimented a bit and came up with this yummy treat.

In a blender dump and blend:

6 ice cubes
1, 1/2 cup milk
1 cup strawberry yogurt
1 cup frozen peaches
1 cup frozen berry mix (strawberries, blueberries, rasp)
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup baby spinach

If you want a healthier version you could omit the sugar. I don't dare! If you are brave and try it, let me know how it tastes! Also, you could try plain yogurt instead of flavored yogurt. :)


My kids loved this!
