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.

Banana Clementine Green Smoothie

A while back, I got a big box of clementines from Costco, "tines" as Mr. Mister calls them. The kids really like them and are usually able to get through the whole box before they start to go south. But this time, they didn't so I decided to peel and freeze the clementines for future smoothie use.

Banana Clementine Green Smoothie

2 bananas
3 clementines, fresh or frozen
1 handful of spinach

Blend to the desired consistency.

This smoothie has a less appealing look to it - it doesn't have a vibrant color to it as a lot of other green smoothies do. But it has a wonderfully mild taste to it. The clementines give it a nice citrus flavor without being too acidic. Mr. Mister liked it more than Little Mama and I think that was because of the pulp from the clementines.

Shrek Smoothie

This is one of the first green smoothies that I ever made. Amanda, our friend and babysitter, suggested this combination to me. The mangos and bananas with the spinach really give the smoothie the color of Shrek.

Shrek Smoothie from Amanda

1 mango

1 banana

1 handful of spinach

Blend to desired consistency, adding ice or water as needed.

Mr. Mister really likes this one. And Little Mama likes it too. But Mr. Mister is truly my green smoothie drinker. He'll pretty much drink anything that I give him.
