Sometimes the best and most nutritious meal option for me to beat the summer heat is a smoothie.
I’m constantly experimenting with new smoothie recipes and this Peanut Butter Power Smoothie is a regular item on my lunch menu.
It’s quick and easy, very filling, and best of all, gives me the energy I need to chase my active toddler during the dog days of summer.
Add some frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or all three for a PB&J version!
Peanut Butter Power Smoothie Recipe
Combine the following ingredients in a blender on high for about a minute:
–1/2 cup vanilla coconut milk
–2 large dollops plain greek yogurt
–1 heaping spoonful peanut butter (smooth or crunchy – doesn’t matter)
–2 frozen bananas
Makes one 16 oz. smoothie
Note: the consistency of this smoothie will vary based on the thickness of your yogurt, whether or not you use frozen bananas, etc. If you want it thicker, add a few ice cubes or try the PB&J version (above) until you achieve your desired consistency.
Enjoy!
