PB&J Smoothies

We decided to make a healthy snack after nap time, and we tried this recipe for the first time.

WOW! These were much better than I expected! And, of course, the boys drank it up and kept asking for more!

I found the recipe on www.100daysofrealfood.com:

PB&J Smoothie

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup apple juice
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 – 2 bananas (I like using 2…but if you only have 1 on hand don’t let it stop you!)
  • 1 cup frozen (or fresh) berries
  • Optional: A handful of ice cubes if you use fresh berries
Mix well in a blender and serve cold with a straw.

(Note: I left out the apple juice and used all milk, just because I didn't have any apple juice.  I used frozen strawberries for the berries).
