And spinach.

My latest "breakfast in a cup" incorporates some yummy and healthy things that mask the taste of some super healthy veggies. My green hatin' son (excluding kiwi and avocado) drank a ton of this smoothie and said "yum, chocolate milkshake mommy". SCORE!
Sarah's Protein Powerhouse veggie hiding Smoothie
1 banana sliced and frozen (I slice and put in the freezer the night before)
1/3 cup of organic milk or coconut milk
1 dollop of honey
1 fistful of raw spinach
1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter. Why not try homemade?
1.5 tsp of good quality cocoa powder (I prefer dark chocolate)
1 tsp of chia seeds
Blend all ingredients until smooth. I like to make this about 20 minutes before I leave for work, and then stick it in the freezer. The chia seeds make the smoothie thicker the longer it sits, so it's great to let it "rest" for a bit, but don't wait too long before enjoying it!

Hey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI've turned into a huge green smoothie fan, and am trying to figure out how to get my girls to eat them (the 8 year old loves them, but the younger two are no fans).
I like this recipe but my youngest has a peanut allergy (yes, the most perfect food on the planet, peanut butter, is off limits at our house). :(
Do you think I could swap Nutella for PB and get a similar outcome? I'd probably go easy on or eliminate the cocoa powder if I went that direction.
Thanks for all the great posts... love your blog!
Have you ever tried almond butter?
