Here we go again … where would I be without a banana and peanut butter smoothie? Like a peanut butter and banana sandwich it’s such a great fall back when there is nothing else in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer. It seems I always have bananas and am never without peanut butter. What about you? Or are you more organized and never run out of things? Tell us in the comments.
This tasty smoothie is a favorite of mine and I keep coming back to it. Sometimes I put spinach in, sometimes not. (It gives your smoothie a weird color but does not affect the flavor.) If I’ve run out of flax seeds I’ll add chia. No maple syrup? Use a little honey. Or skip it altogether if using a very ripe banana.
The recipe is from Andrea Bemis, farmer turned foodie, at DishingUpTheDirt. Andrea says …
I was craving a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup last night but I didn’t let myself go out and buy one. Yoga and Reese’s in the same night just don’t really go together you know? Instead, I waited until this morning and created this awesome green smoothie. It doesn’t exactly taste like a Reese’s but it kicked the craving.
