Hi everyone! Spring has sprung! With Easter just around the corner and summer not far behind, my thoughts have turned to my squishy waistline.
With fresh fruits and veggies coming into season, I decided to dust off the Nutribullet and make a few healthy smoothies.
One of my favorite smoothies to make is one I call Banana Nut. It's full of healthy ingredients but tastes like a banana peanut butter milkshake. Even Elvis would approve. I promise!
The smoothie has 2 cups of spinach, but has no spinach taste at all. The flavors of the peanut butter (boosted by flaxseed meal) and banana really win out.
Recipe:
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup skim milk (or soy or almond)
1 T peanut butter
1 T flaxseed meal
1 banana
6 strawberries
Ice cubes
Layer ingredients in a blender. I added mine in the order of the recipe. One tip: be sure to add the peanut butter somewhere in the middle. Otherwise, it may stick to the blender sides.
If using a Nutribullet, be careful that your liquid does not exceed the max line. It's OK if the fruit/veggies do.
Mix and enjoy!
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week!
