Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie

This is absolutely the best non-green smoothie that I have EVER had. It is so wonderful and delicious. And, I am very sad that my pictures don't even begin to do this smoothie justice. This recipe comes from Lindsay the Happy Herbivore.

Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie

2 bananas, peeled and frozen
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk (regular or non-dairy)


Blend until creamy.

I told you so ... this picture doesn't look like anything special. But I beg you to try this. It is amazing. It tastes just like a peanut butter cup. The frozen bananas can be difficult to blend but using them makes an almost ice cream like consistency. Both of my kids love this smoothie and I often make twice the recipe.

Straw-Pine Smoothie

I love summer because of all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables that I am able to get. The strawberries have been sweet and juicy lately so I knew that they would be perfect for this smoothie.

Straw-Pine Smoothie

1 1/2 cup strawberries
8 oz fresh pineapple
1 handful of red kale


Blend to desired consistency.


This smoothie was so yummy. The strawberries and pineapple were very sweet and this was a very kid friendly smoothie. Both kids loved it and wanted more.
