Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Recipe at bottom of page



 Two Ingredients: Peanut Butter and Bananas!!!

This combination, besides chocolate and peanut butter, is my favorite! This recipe ties it all up into a cool and refreshing smoothie. Actually it tastes more like a MILKSHAKE! But it's much healthier. By using almond milk and PB2, you save calories but still get the delicious creamy, peanut buttery taste you love. By using frozen bananas, you still get the silky texture that ice cream gives to a milkshake, but it's a lot better for you.

Try this tasty, cool treat as a breakfast smoothie or a dessert- it's a great swap for a milkshake. Enjoy!

Tip: If you have a bunch of bananas that are turning brown, don't through them away! Save money and make milkshakes!! Peel, slice, and place them in a ziploc bag and place in the freezer. Now you have frozen bananas ready to go whenever you want a Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie, Yum!

Feeling in a chocolatey mood? Use Chocolate PB2 instead of PB2 or Chocolate Soy Milk instead of Vanilla Almond Milk
