Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie [Recipe]

Big A loves fruit smoothies. The problem is that Little D doesn’t. In fact, he’s not a big fan of fruit overall, especially the really sweet kind like strawberries and oranges (this bums me out but that’s a topic for another post). The teachers at his preschool are amazed that he turns his nose up to juice.

What Little D really loves is nuts. One day in the store, he grabbed a bag of nuts and yelled “Yummy Nuts!” So needless to say he loves peanut butter. So while making smoothies the other day, I also made a batch using banana, milk and peanut butter. While Little D refused to try it, Big A’s friend couldn’t get enough. And I’m sure after a few more tries he’ll take to it. If not, I’ll drink it!

    I’ve been mad for banana smoothies lately, and this looks delicious. I’ve been making one that uses bananas with Medjool dates for sweetness. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for a great blog!! I just read this smoothie recipe and got up from the table to immediately make it for my kids – they LOVE it! Considering my son hates peanut butter, I think this is a success! 🙂 I did add about 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt to it for some sweetness – for some reason, the banana I used wasn’t very sweet. Thanks for the recipe! It’s a keeper!
